The Retried NPA Puppet of NPA Fish is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Army with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 1.903 billion NPA Fishians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LunarPunk. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong NPA Fishian economy, worth 116 trillion Fish a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,354 Fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Air purifiers fight smoke machines on NPA Fishian stage setups, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NPA Fish's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Flemogvia.

NPA Fish is ranked 177,602^nd in the world and 73^rd in Fish Storage for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 64.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
