The United Republic of Delaclava is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Anna Voss with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.89 billion Delaclavs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catherina. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delaclav economy, worth a remarkable 4,524 trillion Karsikas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,539 Karsikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared war on all passing comets, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delaclava's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Delaclava is ranked 18,483^rd in the world and 6^th in Sonnel for Largest Populations, with 18.9 billion capita.
