The Kingdom of Jethro Tull is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.051 billion Jethro Tullians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackpool. The average income tax rate is 68.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Jethro Tullian economy, worth 890 trillion flutes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 110,668 flutes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and universities spend millions removing ivy from their walls to avoid accusations of elitism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jethro Tull's national animal is the Aqualing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Jethro Tull is ranked 39,244th in the world and 6th in England for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,354.47 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
