The Werewolf Smooth Jazz of Land of the Laconic Shrimp is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel Osbourne with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.83 billion Land of the Laconic Shrimpians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Land of the Laconic Shrimpian economy, worth a remarkable 1,077 trillion animal crackers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 122,060 animal crackers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and Daniel Osbourne claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Land of the Laconic Shrimp's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Land of the Laconic Shrimp is ranked 42,753^rd in the world and 367^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 30.3 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
