The Dazzling Autumnal Wonder of Land Without Shrimp is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Buffy with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.365 billion Canadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

Land Without Shrimp is ranked 4,827^th in the world and 74^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 9,867.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
