The Incorporated States of Small Fish is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.678 billion Small Fishians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Environment is also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Fish City. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Small Fishian economy, worth a remarkable 8,384 trillion squids a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,549 squids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, sex changes are routinely performed at Small Fish's hospitals, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Small Fish's national animal is the land shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Small Fish is ranked 287,007^th in the world and 7,002^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -483.79 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
