The Community of Fishelle is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fishe with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 7.437 billion Fishelleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquas Gillus. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fishellean economy, worth 996 trillion Fish Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,946 Fish Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, freed serfs and former nobles exchange awkward glances in the produce aisle, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and the key to a long musical career is government contracts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fishelle's national animal is the Fishellean Cod, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fishelle is ranked 310,030^th in the world and 256^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.2 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
