The Extant Territory of Deliber is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.095 billion Delibites 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mulse. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deliberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Gold Ingots a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,343 Gold Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering, life is somewhat repetitive, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Delibites marry themselves'. Crime is totally unknown. Deliber's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Deliber is ranked 41,556^th in the world and 1,406^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
