The Community of Sentient Cubes is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.2%.

The Sentient Cubesian economy, worth 14.7 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,237 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, all facts are created equal, the government spends billions to retrieve millions worth of asteroid gold, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentient Cubes's national animal is the dolphin.
