The United Socialist States of Sentinopolis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ntmítri Petrén'ko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.392 billion Sentonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artemkogrod. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sentonian economy, worth 112 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 81,140 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentinopolis's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sentinopolis is ranked 117,508^th in the world and 620^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,919.18 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
