The Federation of Sentient Peoples is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Imperial President with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.2 billion Sentient Peoplesians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Griffin. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sentient Peoplesian economy, worth an astonishing 16,122 trillion FedCreds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 364,756 FedCreds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,375,326 per year while the poor average 67,403, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

There's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sentient Peoples's national animal is the Black Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sentient Peoples is ranked 2,016^th in the world and 2^nd in Dor Lomin for Lowest Crime Rates, with 144.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
