The Allied States of Dellonsder is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The democratic population of 222 million Dellonsderians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dellonsderian economy, worth 14.6 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 65,594 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, it is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, and the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dellonsder's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dellonsder is ranked 114,989^th in the world and 431^st in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,898.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
