The Republic of Fish Bot is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 301 million Fish Botians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fish Botian economy, worth 15.2 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,651 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, childish pranks are no laughing matter, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. 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 can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Fish Bot is ranked 159,564^th in the world and 79^th in Fish Storage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 793.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
