The Most Serene Republic of Land of the Laconic Shrimp is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Daniel Osbourne with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.14 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 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Land of the Laconic Shrimpian economy, worth 816 trillion animal crackers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Retail, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,371 animal crackers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, populations of two-headed werewolves have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Land of the Laconic Shrimp is ranked 37,818th in the world and 432nd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,206.06674895012 days.
