The Republic of Sharome is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 159 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 Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sharoman economy, worth 8.47 trillion dollers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,296 dollers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Sharome City, and the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 132,514^th in the world and 53^rd in RPS for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,652.42 Standard Monetary Units.
