The Federation of Unified Delphi is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jebediah Kerman with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.507 billion Delphi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invenire. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delphinian economy, worth 435 trillion Pennis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,127 Pennis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ancient antique swords have had their blades replaced with latex boffer LARP replicas, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, Delphi seem to be catching more chills, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unified Delphi's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Unified Delphi is ranked 8,363^rd in the world and 193^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
