The Unstable Universe of Delark is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme majesty emperor Arcn of verda with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.181 billion DELARKIANS are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal city of Verdaria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.2%.

The powerhouse DELARKIAN economy, worth 430 trillion DK marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 102,989 DK marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Maritime signalling has become tedious since only the DELARKIAN flag can be displayed, blood isn't quite as thick as it used to be, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Delark' is a smash hit, and the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Supreme majesty emperor Arcn of verda off a murder charge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delark's national animal is the Doggy dog dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is True Christianity.

Delark is ranked 26,144^th in the world and 926^th in Osiris for Largest Black Market, with 89.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
