“Ob Adscensio De Hominis”

The Commonwealth of Senestrum is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Victoria Bequin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.697 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnheim. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Senestrum's radio stations, Senestrum is building an army to protect its overseas territories, Senestrum has designated Arnheim as its capital city, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Senestrum's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Throne.

Senestrum is ranked 59th in the region and 51,220th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
