The Republic of Senas Retrat is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 618 million Senas Retratians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Senas Retratian economy, worth 66.4 trillion Dukes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 107,478 Dukes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, the government has the power to seize property at will, visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Senas Retrat's national animal is the sitting potato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Senas Retrat is ranked 75,264^th in the world and 91^st in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Secular, with 18.5 Atheism Rate.
