The Kritarchy of Sunshine Archipelago is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Judge Pianta with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.777 billion Delfinites 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delfino Plaza. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delfinite economy, worth 581 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,716 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunshine Archipelago's national animal is the Sand Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shine Sprite Worship.

Sunshine Archipelago is ranked 311,553^rd in the world and 14^th in Valkia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,737.33 Standard Monetary Units.
