The Extant Territory of Deliber is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.179 billion Delibites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mulse. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deliberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,092 trillion Gold Ingots a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,519 Gold Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life is somewhat repetitive, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Delibites marry themselves', and bars are packed at all hours. Crime is totally unknown. Deliber's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Deliber is ranked 285,204^th in the world and 6,096^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.76 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
