The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.651 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, liberal, 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 4,935 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 264,640 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, Harper Huxley can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. 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 423rd in the world and 7th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 102.82 Effective Tax Rate.
