The Queen's State of De la Ware is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.966 billion De la Wareans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving De la Warean economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 32,489 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 151,994 per year while the poor average 4,148, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.

De La Ware's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the tenet of free speech is held dear, De la Ware has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of De la Ware in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. De la Ware's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

De la Ware is ranked 288,395^th in the world and 510^th in State for Highest Average Incomes, with 32,489.1 Standard Monetary Units.
