Deltannia (Old Buranic: Dalmark) is the northernmost nation of Europa on Eurth. It is located entirely on the Parnu peninsula, surrounded by the Argic Ocean to the north, Gulf of Lanjon to the east, Kosscow Sea to the south, and Sea of Storms to the west. In the southeast it borders Volsci, the country's only landbordering neighbour.

Deltannia believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Deltannia will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
Military
International observers consider Deltannia to be an aggressive country.[citation needed] Some say has an itch for war.[citation needed] The government believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Deltannia has been positioned at all border crossings and to arrest drug traffickers. Deltannia allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers.
Economy
Its technology is first-rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Deltannia work diligently to produce Gems and Coal as tradable resources for their nation.
