The Two-Stack Pushdown Automata of SherpDaWerp is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by an iron fist with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 17.045 billion SherpDaWerpians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the capital city. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient SherpDaWerpian economy, worth a remarkable 5,572 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 326,927 werps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A man's 250 square-foot apartment is his castle, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and the nation's historic treasures have been sold off to Maxtopia's "Museum of SherpDaWerpian Artifacts That They're Too Stupid to Appreciate". Crime is totally unknown. SherpDaWerp's national animal is the nation's favourite main course, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SherpDaWerp is ranked 22,594th in the world and 79th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
