Sher (officially City of Sher, sometimes State of Sher) is an Alpha Centauri-era industrial city-state at approximately 1664–1840, 55–82, 1540–1882 (OW, from Nether 208, 62, 212), governed as a closed city by Mayor Stalin_77.

Overview[edit]

The City of Sher was one of the most developed urban centres in alphac, featuring a full street grid, a naval base, railway terminus, multiple industrial facilities, and submarine infrastructure. It was marked in the Alphac Nether Hub as: "City of Sher — Mayor: Stalin_77 — Closed City" — indicating restricted settlement. Stalin_77 also maintained a residence in Taconia and appears in the Zothique Cemetery with the epitaph Derailment.

A sign near the memorial park reads: Welcome to the State of Euphoria (1763, 65, 1617), suggesting an informal regional name or sub-district.
