The Republic of Sharome is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 40 million Sharomans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sharoman economy, worth 1.74 trillion dollers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,553 dollers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government invades its allies more than its enemies, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sharome's national animal is the sharoman duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sharome is ranked 112,420^th in the world and 27^th in RPS for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,006.43 Standard Monetary Units.
