The Dazzling Winter Beauty of Land Without Shrimp is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Buffy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.666 billion Canadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunnydale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian economy, worth a remarkable 8,122 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 435,158 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,492,929 per year while the poor average 93,093, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, and party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises. Crime is totally unknown. Land Without Shrimp's national animal is the vampyre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Land Without Shrimp is ranked 16,120^th in the world and 270^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
