The Abused Yellow Fin Tuna of SteamPunkFishToo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mecha Thatcher with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 22.939 billion Fisheses are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Throne of Order. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SteamPunkFishTooan economy, worth a remarkable 3,007 trillion PomPoms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,122 PomPoms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, sex changes are routinely performed at SteamPunkFishToo's hospitals, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SteamPunkFishToo's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zetta.

SteamPunkFishToo is ranked 278,593rd in the world and 70th in Yggdrasil for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -5.66 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
