The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.68 billion Sensorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Triumph. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sensorian economy, worth a remarkable 4,961 trillion Emeralds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 265,614 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, there's never enough space in space, the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sensorland's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is free thought.

Sensorland is ranked 332,639^th in the world and 2,698^th in the West Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 14.66 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
