The Convincing Nature of Paranoid Delusions is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by unreal events with an iron fist, and remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 19.509 billion Delusionals are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ancient City. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Delusional economy, worth 459 trillion stories a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,526 stories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and government critics have noticed a lot of new neighbors with expensive surveillance equipment in their garages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paranoid Delusions's national animal is the dog and its national religion is Aliens.

Paranoid Delusions is ranked 249,956^th in the world and 222^nd in Equilism for Rudest Citizens, with 26.93 insults per minute.
