Description
The Kingdom of Shrek Land is a flourishing country ruled by the ogre, Shrek and Sophia Marchalleck. Since Shrek Land and its citizens are all for the magic the land possesses, they managed to live on an immense island right off the coast of Antarctica. With that being said, the fairytale creatures make sure the weather and living conditions are always a perfect fit for everyone. The land is divided into two. Far Far Away and Ogre Central. One side is reserved for fairytale creatures and the other for Shrek and his fellow ogres.
Economy, Allies, and Enemies
The Kingdom of Shrek Land pays 9.0% income tax. The strong Shrek Land economy is mostly based on their potion produce and trade. The potion industry in Shrek Land started with the late Fairy Godmother. The factory is ran by goblins (who take up 11% of the population) who work hard to not only create the potions but help get them packaged and ready for trade. Shrek Land also trades a lot of its swamp based agriculture with its alliances. Shrek Land uses its earnings from trade for the education, health-care, and public transport. The Kingdom of Shrek Land has alliances with The Nation of Canessia and Frankfurter Land. They all work together to trade different materials. The Kingdom of Shrek Land has an ongoing rivalry with Frankenstein Islands. The Royal Ogre Assembly surprisingly disagrees with the islands frequent executions. They were once alliances but were torn apart once the President, Emma Astro, suggested to that Shrek Land and the assembly that they should too become just as harsh.
Ogre Central
The ogre side (Ogre Central) of the island, and Shrek Land’s capital, is moderated by Shrek himself. Ogre Central is covered with swamps. Freshwater and saltwater. The weather is usually kept very humid and moist, just how the ogre population liked it. These swamps are dominated by woody plants, such as shrubs and trees. They also include water lilies, cattails, and other plants in standing water. Grasses such as barnyard, cordgrass, and reed canary grass also covered the swampy lands. Aside from the flora, there is more that enough fauna in the swamps. For example, alligators, many species of snakes, and birds.

Each Ogre or ogre family live in circular shaped houses with roofs made of straw sticks. The neighborhoods are usually very disorganized and disoriented but thats what makes the ogres feel at home. The neighborhoods are also very lively and especially at night. That is when the ogre residents have their meetings because they are apart Royal Ogre Assembly.
Far Far Away
Far Far Away (Shrek Land’s largest city), also known as, the fairytale side of the island, is a lot more serene and calm than Ogre Central. It is packed with shopping districts and homes belonging to each fairytale creature resident. For example, Burger Prince, Baskin Robin Hood, and Old MacDonalds. Far Far Away is located on a peninsula on an island, which is where most of the kingdom’s trading is done. The residents of Far Far Away travel in carriages and coaches. Far Far Away is where Sophia Marchalleck’s palace resides. It is the most visualized structure in the land. It can be seen from anywhere on the island.
Ancient and Medieval History
The Kingdom of Shrek Land was not always one united island. It was separated into two but those two parts were against eachother. The first part, The Land of Duloc, ruled by the evil Lord Farquaad was a Dictatorship. Lord Farquaad was self-obsessed dictator who didnt care about the well being of his citizens. Towering over Duloc stood his castle surrounded by other notable buildings including a courtyard and cathedral. The surrounding shops only sold souvenirs with Farquaad’s likeness. Lord Farquaad initially wanted to become king because he ultimately wanted to banish the large number of fairytale creatures. Conveniently, he sent them to live in Shrek’s swamp. That is the exact moment in which Shrek rebelled and confront him. That soon led to the happy death of Lord Farquaad, with the help of a dragon. The second part of the island was Far Far Away but it was not as it is now. Not only did they have ongoing battles with Lord Farquaad it was ruled by the late Queen Lilian and King Harold and the next heir, Arthur Pendragon. After Shrek got in control, he learned that he should bring the two parts together and form them into one stronger kingdom. After Lord Farquaad’s death, Duloc was completely abandoned and The Royal Ogre Assembly made it so it rightfully belonged to the ogres.
Etymology
The name Shrek Land comes from the ogre Shrek himself. Shrek had always had issues with his self-image. People always assumed he was a harsh, furious ogre when really he just wanted to be looked at just how everyone else was. People always judged him before they even got to know him. So that’s why Shrek decided to call the island The Kingdom of Shrek Land. The whole world feared Shrek so they would never go to an island called Shrek Land. No one outside of the island never bothered the island and its citizens and that is how Shrek liked it. Shrek appreciates his privacy. The anthem “Get Out of My Swamp” is exactly what Shrek would say when someone would rudely enter his home. It displays Shreks cold interior before he took over The Land of Duloc (previously owned by Lord Farquaad). The Kingdom’s moto, “Ogres Have Layers” means exactly what it states. Ogres do have layers and that means they have more to offer than just their fierce atributes, they are also loving and empathetic on the inside.
Advancements
The Kingdom of Shrek Land always had a love for potions. Not only did it improve the economy, it helped the fairytale creatures, magically of course. The Potion Factory was originally in the hands of the Fairy Godmother but after her passing the goblins took control in The Kingdom of Shrek. Each potion has its own individual capitbilities. For example, The Happily Ever After Potion.
The label reads: "Happily Ever After Potion maximum strength. For you and your true love. Drink of this potion and bliss will be thine, happiness, comfort, and beauty divine. Fair relief of symptoms due to common unhappiness." WARNING: side effects may include itching, burning, oozing, weeping. Not intended for heart patients or those with nervous disorders. To make the effects of the potion permanent the drinker must obtain his or her true love's first kiss by midnight.
Potions can be extremely expensive because of its extensive list of advantages and side effects. That is also why it is great of trade and the kingdom’s economy. Any citizen of the Shrek Land citizens can have access to these potions. Even people that live outside of the kingdom.
