The Kingdom of Jethro Tull is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its lack of airports, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.163 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 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jethro Tullian economy, worth 940 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 extensive. Average income is an impressive 115,118 flutes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, rock and roll involves rolling literal rocks in prison, Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, and Leader has been declared supreme ruler for all eternity. 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 309,911th in the world and 52nd in England for Least Corrupt Governments, with 57.74 percentage of bribes refused.
