The relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, with Healthcare, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Michel Delving. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.
The strong Sharp-earsian economy, worth 264 trillion Oats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology.

The new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go.

Sharp-ears's national animal is the Shadowfax, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
