The Eternal Gratitude of Land Without Shrimp is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Buffy with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.094 billion Canadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny 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 7,134 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 417,368 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,228,238 per year while the poor average 111,667, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. 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 46,065^th in the world and 734^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,962.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
