The Fish of the North of ForFishing is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nemo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.862 billion ForFishingians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fish City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.8%.

The frighteningly efficient ForFishingian economy, worth 880 trillion Fish Coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 227,913 Fish Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 715,841 per year while the poor average 55,561, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, the nation has reverted back to an agrarian society after anything more advanced than the wheel was banned, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ForFishing's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

ForFishing is ranked 53,336^th in the world and 1,236^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
