The Empire of Senses is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning badger population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 24.318 billion Sensesians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sensesian economy, worth 551 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,672 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Senses's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Senses is ranked 149,261^st in the world and 3^rd in Divergent for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.38 Effective Tax Rate.
