The White-bellied n' fishy hover of Genus Salmonea is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by His Immense Troutiveness Gilès Ohrid with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.06 billion Piscitarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Environment, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caltrutta. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Genus Salmonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion fincoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 197,768 fincoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, midwives must be skilled with the blade, praying at the office can see you terminated for napping, and His Immense Troutiveness Gilès Ohrid's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Genus Salmonea's national animal is the trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Worship of the Old Trout Gods.

Genus Salmonea is ranked 4^th in the world and 1^st in Aci Trezza for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 65,121.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
