The Hypercompact Stellar System of SherpDaWerp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Riven of a Thousand Voices with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 12.919 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, well-organized 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 4,041 trillion werps a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 312,816 werps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, it's said that Riven of a Thousand Voices can turn every pleasure into a chore, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime is totally unknown. SherpDaWerp's national animal is the rakshasa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SherpDaWerp is ranked 108,257^th in the world and 7^th in Glass Gallows for Most Income Equality, scoring 36.03 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
