The Friendly Republic of Sensorland is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Harper Huxley with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.536 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 4,870 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 262,771 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing special about Harper Huxley, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and government officials who do an offal job get smoked. 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 1,139th in the world and 21st in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 348 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
