The Protectorate of Sentinel Network is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.664 billion Sentinels 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 medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Healthcare, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sentinel Networkian economy, worth 358 trillion nationstates dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,777 nationstates dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sentinels have replaced bears in a popular idiom, elections have been outlawed, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentinel Network's national animal is the Owl.

Sentinel Network is ranked 129,070^th in the world and 5,348^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 68.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
