The Fish of the North of ForFishing is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nemo with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.914 billion ForFishingians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fish City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient ForFishingian economy, worth 874 trillion Fish Coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 223,489 Fish Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 776,028 per year while the poor average 46,946, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

The flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, organ donation is compulsory, and the sun now sets on the ForFishingian Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ForFishing's national animal is the Fish.

ForFishing is ranked 806^th in the world and 20^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 11,278.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
