The Band of Marillion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by H with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.283 billion Socts are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aylesbury. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Jester economy, worth 686 trillion Free Scotlands a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,252 Free Scotlands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marillion's national animal is the Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Misplaced Childhood.

Marillion is ranked 51,523rd in the world and 2nd in Monarchist and Democratic Alliance for Most Stationary, with 867.99397920572 days.
