The Grand Duchy of Shrimpkid is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 250 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, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The thriving Shrimplified economy, worth 21.6 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 frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,237 Nautilus Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the blood on the hands of Leader may not be metaphorical, Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. Crime is well under control. Shrimpkid's national animal is the Shrimp, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Shrimpkid is ranked 71,704^th in the world and 51^st in Hell for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,023.26 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
