The Republic of Fish Bot is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 227 million Fish Botians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fish Botian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,470 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fish Bot's national animal is the Card, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fish Bot is ranked 97,715^th in the world and 41^st in Fish Storage for Highest Poor Incomes, with 31,384.64 Standard Monetary Units.
