The Nasicournian Loving States of DeltaOne is a behemoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 50.018 billion DeltaOneans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government is dominated by the Department of Environment, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Industry and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant DeltaOnean economy, worth 249 trillion Strikes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 4,987 Strikes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. DeltaOne's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

DeltaOne is ranked 305,276^th in the world and 15^th in Nasicournia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
