The Free Land of Fish Oil is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 36.8 billion Fish Oilians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Fish Oilian economy, worth a remarkable 8,680 trillion gold tensoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 235,876 gold tensoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,453,054 per year while the poor average 16,663, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

Sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and FO-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fish Oil's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fish Oil is ranked 293,469^th in the world and 11,215^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
