The Aquatic island of Fisssh is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its lack of airports, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 945 million Fisssh peopleses enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of cod land. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fissshian economy, worth 48.2 trillion Fish a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 51,046 Fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, they say that one should speak softly and carry a big broomstick, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fisssh's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fisssh is ranked 250,474^th in the world and 26^th in The waters for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.83 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
