The Free Land of Delsal is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.504 billion Delsalians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delsalian economy, worth 246 trillion oases a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 163,803 oases, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, and the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Delsal's national animal is the hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Delsal is ranked 49,624^th in the world and 240^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,107.2 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
