The Hypercompact Stellar System of SherpDaWerp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Menkhotep with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 15.131 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, 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 Curdingham Keep. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient SherpDaWerpian economy, worth a remarkable 4,967 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 328,285 werps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise, no one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on, SherpDaWerpians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, and city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones. Crime is totally unknown. SherpDaWerp's national animal is the taipan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SherpDaWerp is ranked 309,595th in the world and 9th in Glass Gallows for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
