The Unwavering Love of Land With Lots of Shrimp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Anya with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.916 billion demons enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Administration and Social Policy are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient demon economy, worth a remarkable 3,902 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 327,533 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,775,685 per year while the poor average 31,178, a ratio of 57.0 to 1.

Life is somewhat repetitive, refugees from other nations are flocking to Land With Lots of Shrimp's border, visitors to the famed rainforests are instead taken to vast furniture factories, and Anya has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Land With Lots of Shrimp's national animal is the demon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Land With Lots of Shrimp is ranked 2,994th in the world and 38th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 11,759.15 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
