The Republic of Sensipality is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed population of 1.69 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 66%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sensipality's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sensipality mark ssm.

Sensipality is ranked 2378th in the region and 39,587th in the world for Happiest Citizens.
