The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.828 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 5,003 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 265,770 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and diaper-wrapped falafel is a fan-favorite. 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 392^nd in the world and 10^th in the West Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 98.23 years.
