The Pipe-smoking Wizard of Fish Republic is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Consul Calliope with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.439 billion Fishes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong a Fish economy, worth 440 trillion Denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 80,937 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly secular, birth rates have hit an all-time low, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fish Republic's national animal is the Sea Bunny, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Greek Pantheon.

Fish Republic is ranked 204,489^th in the world and 2,893^rd in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.23 Obesity Rate.
