The Principality of Sherman Park is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.215 billion Sherman Parkians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Sherman Parkian economy, worth 59.1 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,648 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,541 per year while the poor average 3,049, a ratio of 102 to 1.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sherman Park's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sherman Park is ranked 327,010^th in the world and 1^st in Sherman Park for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -3.16 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
