The Republic of Delvors is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.047 billion Delvorsians 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 effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Education not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Delvorsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,469 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 306,916 currencies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,624,420 per year while the poor average 30,742, a ratio of 52.8 to 1.

It is typical to be greeted by a string of curse words in Delvorsian restaurants, Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty", and pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Delvors's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Delvors is ranked 340,678th in the world and 52nd in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -47.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
