The Great northern NationState of Delark is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Tubbo with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.11 billion Delarkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Manila. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Delarkian economy, worth 167 trillion Delarkian marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,555 Delarkian marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
President Tubbo is the self-declared God of all Delark, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', many friends and relatives of President Tubbo have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and the Delarkian war navy contains an oddly large number of luxury yachts and cruise liners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delark's national animal is the wingless flying hippo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tubbonism.
Delark is ranked 184,426th in the world and 2nd in the region of ducks for Most Secular, with 16.56 Atheism Rate.
