The Eternal Gratitude of Land Without Shrimp is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Buffy with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.868 billion Canadians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunnydale. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian economy, worth a remarkable 7,005 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 415,291 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,518,196 per year while the poor average 80,578, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, what goes down must come up, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and orange trees find it's not easy being green. Crime is totally unknown. Land Without Shrimp's national animal is the vampyre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Land Without Shrimp is ranked 18th in the world and 1st in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 1,292 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
