The Grand Duchy of Shrimpkid is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 316 million Shrimpsands are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MCC Island. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Shrimplified economy, worth 27.5 trillion Nautilus Shells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,868 Nautilus Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Nautilus Shells each year, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shrimpkid's national animal is the Shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Shrimpkid is ranked 70,538^th in the world and 60^th in Hell for Most Patriotic, with 19.96 flags saluted per person per day.
