The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.53 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 4,868 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 262,712 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. 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 1,466^th in the world and 19^th in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 239,040.5 Standard Monetary Units.
