The United Socialist States of Sentinopolis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ntmítri Petrén'ko with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.48 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 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sentonian economy, worth 122 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, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 82,876 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. 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 258,157^th in the world and 1,287^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
