The Republic of AroAce Fish is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 271 million AroAce Fishians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 57.8%.

The AroAce Fishian economy, worth 19.9 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,373 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AroAce Fish's national animal is the Card, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

AroAce Fish is ranked 80,174^th in the world and 27^th in Fish Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,262.05 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
