The Glorious Shrimpublic
The Shrimpublic has stood as a beacon of freedom and equality for all Shrimpkind since the historical era of about 35 years ago. President Shrimpopadopolous is currently serving his third term after an landslide victory against runner-up Crabs McKenzie. Political analysts theorize Shrimpopadopolous' popularity was due to his expert command during the capitol crab invasion and the fact that his opponent was the leader of said invasion.
The Grand Shrimpire

Led by the mysterious Shrimpress who has not been seen in public since her coronation, the Shrimpire has been slowly conquering neighboring lands but has never been able to defeat the Shrimpublic's legendary naval forces.
