The Roman-esque Republic of Fish Republic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Consul Calliope with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.772 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving a Fish economy, worth 225 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 81,336 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, the government is avowedly secular, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears. 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 303,782^nd in the world and 4,886^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
