The State of Sherbrook is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.742 billion Sherbrookians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Sherbrookian economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,358 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 417,161 per year while the poor average 3,296, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Sherbrook has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Sherbrook in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sherbrook's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sherbrook is ranked 34,726^th in the world and 1^st in Memphis for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
