The Free Land of Sharpe Beach is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate population of 5.992 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harperton. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Surveillance cameras are banned, international tensions are high as Sharpe Beach threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, and the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sharpe Beach's national animal is the otaku, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lager.

Sharpe Beach is ranked 2,647th in 10000 Islands and 130,013th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -12 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
