The Republic of Senshu

“Even the stones are moved”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Senshu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sun Yat-sen with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, national health service, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.829 billion Senshuans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chin-kang. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but inefficient Senshuan economy, worth a remarkable 5,204 trillion circles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,525 circles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown. Senshu's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Senshu is ranked 318^th in the world and 2^nd in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 219.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
