The Fish of ForFishing2 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by ForFishing with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.33 billion ForFishing2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northern Fork City. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving ForFishing2ian economy, worth 207 trillion fish a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,117 fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one ForFishing2" at foreigners, the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, the entire entry for ForFishing2 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ForFishing2's national animal is the salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

ForFishing2 is ranked 60,140th in the world and 9th in Fish Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,682.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
