The Incorporated Populations of Delta Green (abbreviated IPDG, or DelG), named after its extensive intelligence and military network that blends seamlessly with its government and sometimes refered to as Hyperborea, is an unusual new form of nation that has progressed through the years practically unnoticed until its official "awakening" on the new year of 2006.
It is unknown the exact history of Delta Green's formation, yet all historical references seem to vaguely point towards its existence, no matter how insignificant. Only after the Trillenium Committee was formed by the leadership of Delta Green after the nuclear holocaust that occured during the Woomera Incident did the Technocracy receive any recognition or renown. The following events placed Delta Green as a political power when it seized official control over Antarctica, large areas of ocean between Australia and Antarctica, and the former state of Australia. While dwarfed by such powers as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Delta Green proved itself worthy of political manueverability.
Delta Green's ambitions extend far beyond its territories. It is actively involved in the new Post-Modern Arms Race between the Soviet Union and Delta Green, using its seemingly limitless resources to fund fantastical programs based on technology never seen before. Delta Green, despite being rather small, proved willing to defend itself with superior technology and tactics during the Hyperborean Purge, when all foreign elements remaining on Antarctica either were actively eliminated by Delta Green forces or simply "disappeared," which ended with the renaming of the desolate continent Hyperborea.
History
As mentioned above, historical details of the Delta Green organization and the state of Hyperborea are extremely vague. The only evidence found so far in records has been classified by the nations holding them or silenced by the government of Delta Green, which seems quite intent on keeping historical information on Delta Green as clandestine as possible. This strange behavior exhibited by the nation is usually not attributed as odd, especially considering the communist revisionism exhibited in the historical records of its fellow nation, the Soviet Union.
Some investigation has revealed ties to former nations, such as the United States of America during World War II and the early Cold War. Declassified documents uncovered from the former government point towards a connection to a secret military organization that was used to infiltrate and destroy secret Nazi and later Soviet projects involving paranormal affairs. Rejected as rumor by most authorities, most especially Delta Green's, such claims seem no more than conspiracy theory. Furthermore, there are also alleged ties with the network of the Free People of Communist Brazil before the collapse of the junta government. Another alleged tie is with the Imperial Union of Napoleonic Empire, which is also another collapsed nation. The only thread tying each nation that seems to be connected vaguely to Delta Green is that they at one time collapsed. But the presence of former officials from all three of those fallen regimes now in power within Delta Green is not seen as a simple coincidence by some.
Government
The government and system found in Delta Green is quite unique. Unknown to all but the highest of officials, Delta Green is not exactly a nation. Populations of people are placed into habitation facilities, where giant complexes built as cities and facilities are found, usually subterranean and outside of prying eyes except for a few exceptions to please tourists and visitors. The people are systematically conditioned and drugged until the psychological burden places upon their minds the illusion of living within a great society, creating a compulsory consumerist, dystopian society akin to that of Huxley's Brave New World.
Externally, Delta Green is controlled by a semi-representative, extremely centralized statist government firmly based on capitalism (although this proves to be a folly.) There is only one "official" government office in Delta Green. All other perceived positions, such as the hierarchy of the Delta Green organization, Parliament, and the President's executive advisors, are completely unofficial and only have power because the President wills it so. In theory, the President is the State and the State is the President, yet the Parliament tends to control the President behind closed doors, the executive advisors regulate issues of their domain, the Trust control all economic affairs, and the Delta Green organization usually opperates autonomous of the office of the Presidency in military and intelligence affairs.
The President is little more than a figurehead, at first glance. Yet Bailey O'Sullivan is more than a puppet. The first and only President Delta Green has had (actually, there were three before him, but propaganda revises history to place Bailey as the founder of the Technocracy to inspire loyalty), O'Sullivan has taken a leading stance, even though his actual powers are limited. With support in his actions, he actively works the the "shadow government" of Delta Green to lead his nation, giving them a central point to rally around.
Politics
Politics in Delta Green are extremely vague and undetailed to people outside of the nation. What is know is that there is a general sense of apathy when concerning political conflict and affiliation. Propaganda and societal norms further this, and people tend not to associate themselves with political ideologies. Those who do are labelled as extreme radicals and ostracized by the rest of society, such as the dwindling protest group Høyesterett, which causes more resistence to change than support for it. Along with this apathy, as can be inferred, is a deep seated sense of conservatism. This is aided very much by the propaganda used by the Delta Green and the strict centralist policies enforced.
Shadow government
Main article here: Parliament
The majority of the actual power in the IFT can be found in the "shadow government" that rests with the corporatist Trust, the mysterious Parliament, and the Delta Green organization. None of these are official and almost all of these organizations are kept classified and rarely make themselves obvious.
This is one of the defining aspects of the political element of Delta Green. The Technocracy is like a giant conspiracy, long and convoluted folding upon itself in a maddening web of intrigue and bureacracy. The purpose is for one protect the actual goals and motivations behind the Parliament and the purpose of the entire creation of Delta Green. This is all kept unknown, making it near impossible for others to penetrate the real, physical barriers as well as the bureacratic in order to infiltrate the Delta Green political situation.
Executive Advisors
As mentioned earlier, executive advisors form the backbone of the effective bureacracy of the Delta Green government. Each one is personally appointed by the President, and in turn they are given full control of their "commission," in which they further take on additional advisors, bureacrats, and create an organization from appointment. There is little hierarchy set in law rather than whim, but they manage to create a rather well oiled machine. Each one is given full flexibility and authority by the President's endorsement and approval in their chosen area. The vagueness of their position and domain also lends towards a broad interpretation of what their powers actually consist of, and in the especial case of Commissioner of Stability Oppenheimer, they often find themselves taking on positions outside of their commission, branching from their area of authority.
Internal affairs
Main article here: Delta Green (organization)
Internal affairs within Delta Green may be seen as confusingly burearcratic and horribly complex by some outside analysts. Domestic policy and control mostly lies in the Commission of Stability, headed by Bernard L. Oppenheimer. However, the other Commissions often intervene when their specialized position would bring expertise to the subject. The Delta Green organization also plays a large role in controlling internal affairs. All other smaller issues are either enforced by any of the various commissions
