The Republic of Senshu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sun Yat-sen with a fair hand, and notable for its feral children, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.867 billion Senshuans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chin-kang. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Senshuan economy, worth a remarkable 4,781 trillion circles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 165,641 circles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, a passport is literally priceless, and hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead". Crime is totally unknown. Senshu's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Senshu is ranked 1,261^st in the world and 4^th in Gay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
