The Rogue Nation of Merry Band of Pirates is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Colonel Joe with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.031 billion Aloneans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flying Dutchman. The average income tax rate is 30.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alonean economy, worth 448 trillion Bananas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,625 Bananas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Alonean pirates, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime is totally unknown. Merry Band of Pirates's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cooperation.

Merry Band of Pirates is ranked 276,359th in the world and 4th in Dawn for Most Stationary, with 8.12476563348 days.
