The Most Serene Republic of 1 fish is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Darkslayer population. The quiet, industrious population of 537 million 1 fishians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 17.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The 1 fishian economy, worth 24.0 trillion bubbles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,710 bubbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1 fish's national animal is the Darkslayer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

1 fish is ranked 186,293^rd in the world and 2,556^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
