The Federation of The New Sentients is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Julius Chelarde with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, devout population of 13.722 billion Sentientsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Sentientsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,483 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,129 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Julius Chelarde's stash", fat-shaming is now public policy, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Sentients's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The New Sentients is ranked 9,803^rd in the world and 1^st in Despotic Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,840.65 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
