The Madcap Prankster of Sentimental Journey is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Nyame with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed population of 11.813 billion Sentimental Journeyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Timbuktoo. The average income tax rate is 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sentimental Journeyian economy, worth 894 trillion pennies a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,740 pennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Timbuktoo River is now popularly called "Dead Fish Run", it's considered bigoted to assume that a violent psychopath might be dangerous, the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra, and folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentimental Journey's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cosmology.

Sentimental Journey is ranked 303,535^th in the world and 2,222^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
