The Dictatorship of Sherman Mannor is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gebe Sherman III with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.898 billion Sherman Mannorians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of His Highness Sherman City. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Sherman Mannorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,570 trillion Sherms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,786 Sherms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Netizens fiercely argue over who loves Gebe Sherman III more, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, all news sources are under strict government control, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sherman Mannor's national animal is the Shermdaddy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shermanism.
Sherman Mannor is ranked 229,790th in the world and 263rd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Stationary, with 25.19184498832 days.
