The Grand Duchy of Shrimpkid is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 182 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The thriving Shrimplified economy, worth 16.5 trillion Nautilus Shells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 90,794 Nautilus Shells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,440 per year while the poor average 25,044, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

The doctor has cold hands, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the Shrimpkid Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and the statue in the Huxley Plaza has a solar panel for a hat. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Shrimpkid's national animal is the Shrimp, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Shrimpkid is ranked 242,072^nd in the world and 157^th in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
