The Danomic Republic of Respublica Deltanica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by senate with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.046 billion Deltans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lendamarum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The thriving Deltan economy, worth a remarkable 1,118 trillion nominas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 92,884 nominas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 414,263 per year while the poor average 12,939, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.

Homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, many friends and relatives of senate have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get senate off a murder charge, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Respublica Deltanica's national animal is the aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mores Maiorum.

Respublica Deltanica is ranked 119,193^rd in the world and 2,704^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
