The Fish of ForFishing2 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by ForFishing with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.3 billion ForFishing2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northern Fork City. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong ForFishing2ian economy, worth 201 trillion fish 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. 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 87,679 fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ForFishing2's national animal is the salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

ForFishing2 is ranked 83,909th in the world and 9th in Fish Storage for Most Developed, scoring 65.93 on the Human Development Index.
