The Retired Wanderer of Francisco Sendrijas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dagohoy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.23 billion Francisco Sendrijasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Francisco Sendrijasian economy, worth a remarkable 4,335 trillion cheese dips a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 134,521 cheese dips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, the police insist that racism does not exist, and people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Francisco Sendrijas's national animal is the chicken-hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Animism.

Francisco Sendrijas is ranked 18,431^st in the world and 1^st in Lost Horizon for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,217.9 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
