The Allied City States of Daliorania, more commonly (collectively) known as Dalioranium, comprise one of the largest nations in the world. Approximately 6.4 billion people call these fertile and beautiful lands their home, spread out in separate city states. Daliorania covers a vast expanse of land, setting aside large tracts for lush green belts comprised mostly of temperate forests and in the areas further to the north, thick coniferous cover. There are several short mountain ranges which have been left pristine except for small permaculture settlements in and around the valleys surrounding.

The dense city areas combine advanced technology in construction and transportation with modern social and environmental theories; these culminate in beautiful communities where social activity is easy to enjoy while having minimal impact upon the ecosystems.

While Dalioranium is a socialist nation, it still has a powerful economy, rivaled only by wasteful and destructive conventional economies. This is achieved by providing a basic level of equality and opportunity to all citizens, regardless of gender, race, or religion while encouraging them to participate in a highly regulated market system that allows human ambition and desire to be fulfilled (and not at the cost of other people, creatures, or the environment).

City states are divided into small areas known as districts, and there could be upwards of several dozen in any one settlement. Each district is generally a fairly densely packed urban area, providing all the needs (and most desires) of the people who live in the quarter. Walking and other forms of environmentally friendly transport are encouraged (and often provided) and it is the norm to be able to never need a personal vehicle or to utilize public transport during your whole life.

That said, freedom of movement is not restricted and citizens are also encouraged to travel and visit other areas of Daliorania. As such a large nation, there are virtually all the cultures of the world to be found within, and some areas are even populated primarily by certain groups of people (by choice). As such, different quarters within the same city state can differ greatly, to the extent that in one reknowned area (the city state known as Thurbadin) a traditional muslim district (along with traditional architecture and styles) exists right beside an ancient district of Thurbadin architecture and styles (resembling Amsterdam and other ancient European cities).

Daliorania is a massive landmass, roughly the size of the continental US. Major city states, formally known as Pergdanum States, are located throughout the area. As well, several islands surrounding the main land have joined with Dalioranium. Smaller cities and areas are known as Vilnius States, and are usually found near waterways, deposits of natural resources, or surrounding larger Pergdanum States. Lastly, Dalioranium has a number of "facilities", which are in essence large cities containing all the physical parts of the interstate government. They are also the location of Dalioranium's small but specialized military forces.


Dalioranium

While each city state is responsible for matters within its borders, they together form the interstate government known as Dalioranium. This is an umbrella organization originally designed to ease relations and other activites between various city states. It grew however and has since become the official face of Daliorania in foreign affairs and general leadership. Currently headed by First Minister Levangie, hailing from a small and simple district along the Sapphire Coast, Dalioranium's allegiance lies with The Proletariat Coalition and takes part in the United Nations.

Dalioranian participation in the Coalition has been long and illustrious. The Dalioranian government has been instrumental in the region's government, taking part in the High Court of TPC as well as founding the Council of Knowledge. Dalioranium is also one of the oldest members of the Coalition, as well as the largest.
