The Republic of Senas Retrat is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by AI created by the DATA NERD with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.34 billion Senas Retratians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyberspace. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Senas Retratian economy, worth 279 trillion Dukes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 119,591 Dukes, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Senas Retrat's national animal is the sitting potato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Senas Retrat is ranked 284,463^rd in the world and 71^st in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Cultured, scoring 55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
