The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, soft-spoken computers, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.944 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 3,467 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 232,007 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Courtrooms can be a little sketchy, artists are pillars of society, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. 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 329,807^th in the world and 3,440^th in the West Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -33.79 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
