The Fish of ForFishing2 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by ForFishing with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.528 billion ForFishing2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northern Fork City. The average income tax rate is 4.5%.

The very strong ForFishing2ian economy, worth 177 trillion fish a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,187 fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ForFishing2's national animal is the salmon.

ForFishing2 is ranked 263,194^th in the world and 148^th in Fish Storage for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -9 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
