The Community of Fishelle is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Fishe with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.363 billion Fishelleans 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquas Gillus. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fishellean economy, worth 986 trillion Fish Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,946 Fish Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, freed serfs and former nobles exchange awkward glances in the produce aisle, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fishelle's national animal is the Fishellean Cod, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fishelle is ranked 20,561^st in the world and 149^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,188.08 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
