The Republic of Sendo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sendo with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 18.491 billion Sendoians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grabie. Income tax is unheard of.

The Sendoian economy, worth a remarkable 2,803 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 151,605 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The clergy of Catholicism remains a single-sex institution, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, and healthcare funding has been cut. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sendo's national animal is the Elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sendo is ranked 286,291^st in the world and 834^th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 1.86 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
