The Small Indomitable Tribe of North Sentinel Island is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Spehar Ch'kher with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.619 billion Sentinelese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A Scattering of Grass Huts. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.2%.

The powerhouse Sentinelese economy, worth 577 trillion Spears a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is 45,741 Spears, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

People are turning themselves into worm food, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, Harry Potter books are banned, and there is a dearth of space for new houses. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. North Sentinel Island's national animal is the Missionary, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Animism.

North Sentinel Island is ranked 315,723rd in the world and 72nd in India for Most Secular, with 0.81 Atheism Rate.
