The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of cod land. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Fissshian economy, worth 33.6 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 40,569 Fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular scientists are shunned by name, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Fisssh. Crime 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 37,559^th in the world and 5^th in The waters for Nicest Citizens, with 18.96 average smiles per day.
