The Kingdom of Shrime is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emmil Chandlersen with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.616 billion Shrimeans 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of peacock mines. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Shrimean economy, worth 220 trillion Yickos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,911 Yickos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrime's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shrime is ranked 230,826^th in the world and 5^th in Ducks for Most Primitive, scoring -93.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
