The Diluvian Zickton Destruction of Splish Splash Fash Bash is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Rhovarn with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.341 billion Splish Splash Fash Bashians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zickton. The average income tax rate is 11.5%.

The Splish Splash Fash Bashian economy, worth 431 trillion bashes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 58,820 bashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, terrified neighbors cower behind concertina wire and machine gun nests, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Splish Splash Fash Bash's national animal is the porcupine, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Fash-Bashing.

Splish Splash Fash Bash is ranked 106,192^nd in the world and 1^st in Zickton for Largest Populations, with 7.34 billion capita.
