The United Socialist States of Sentinopolis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Dmitrios Artemko with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.023 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 Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artemkogrod. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sentonian economy, worth 42.5 trillion Sens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 41,571 Sens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and there are no more heroes any more. 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 63,496^th in the world and 315^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 34.14 kickbacks per hour.
