The Eternal Gratitude of Land Without Shrimp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Buffy with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.1 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian economy, worth a remarkable 7,136 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 417,355 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

The delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. 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 3,107^th in the world and 79^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,994.77 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
