The United Socialist States of Sentinopolis is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ntmítri Petrén'ko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.594 billion Sentonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artemkogrod. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sentonian economy, worth 133 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 83,737 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the nation is losing its mind(s), the 'Half King of Maxtopia' exhibit is the least popular amongst museum-goers, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentinopolis's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sentinopolis is ranked 34,442^nd in the world and 144^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,760.21 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
