The Roman-esque Republic of Fish Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Consul Calliope with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.719 billion Fishes 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving a Fish economy, worth 221 trillion Denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 81,417 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading a Fish justice, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fish Republic's national animal is the Sea Bunny, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Greek Pantheon.

Fish Republic is ranked 241,391^st in the world and 3,974^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 11.39 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
