The Enterprise of Dalorxia

“Lucrum Per Progressum, Profit through Progress.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Enterprise of Dalorxia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Director-General Evelyn Sterling with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.387 billion Dalorxites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prospera. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dalorxite economy, worth a remarkable 4,006 trillion Credicoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 385,743 Credicoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, and the face of Director-General Evelyn Sterling is a permanent feature of the Prospera skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Dalorxia's national animal is the Silverwing Gryphon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Econism.

Dalorxia is ranked 1,580^th in the world and 30^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 871.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
