The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.524 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, 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 4,858 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 262,267 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Sensorian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. 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 370th in the world and 9th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.38 on the Human Development Index.
