The Fish and Bananas of Alien Conspiracy is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 1.006 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kelowna. The average income tax rate is 62%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Billions of colored pencils are being poured into a space program, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, an enormous health awareness programme is underway, and the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Alien Conspiracy's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Alien Conspiracy's national animal is the tropical fish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the colored pencil.

Alien Conspiracy is ranked 23rd in Stargate and 33,614th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
