The Constitutional Monarchy of Delphico is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Georgien Fournier with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.924 billion Delphicans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dossarde. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Delphicoan economy, worth 149 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,765 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children are sent to either religious or secular schools, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and Georgien Fournier has just been declared ruler of Delphico in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Delphico's national animal is the Eurasian Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Delphico is ranked 50,528^th in the world and 300^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,627.12 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
