The Hypercompact Stellar System of SherpDaWerp is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Riven of a Thousand Voices with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 13.736 billion SherpDaWerpians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nocturne. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient SherpDaWerpian economy, worth a remarkable 4,416 trillion werps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 321,534 werps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', Jennifer Government is a bestseller, charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime is totally unknown. SherpDaWerp's national animal is the rakshasa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SherpDaWerp is ranked 3,283^rd in the world and 3^rd in Glass Gallows for Highest Economic Output, with 4,416 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
