The Colony of Melville Fuller is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 11.967 billion Melville Fullerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Melville Fullerian economy, worth 512 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,784 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

War criminals are given full state funerals, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, and large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melville Fuller's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Melville Fuller is ranked 140,885^th in the world and 76^th in The Gallery for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 931.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
