The Hypercompact Stellar System of SherpDaWerp is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Riven of a Thousand Voices with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 12.926 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 are ignored. 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 4,050 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 313,384 werps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime is totally unknown. SherpDaWerp's national animal is the rakshasa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SherpDaWerp is ranked 986^th in the world and 2^nd in Glass Gallows for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 24,645.37 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
