The Hegemony of Delberz is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hegemon Kira Tarkin-McBride with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.514 billion Delberzians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minas Delberz. The average income tax rate is 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Delberzian economy, worth a remarkable 9,218 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 347,680 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, babysitters are a thing of the past, and foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Delberz's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lectitio Divinitatus.

Delberz is ranked 50,807^th in the world and 2,711^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,860.17 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
