The Empire of Llama City One is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by God-Emperor Vladimir Snyder with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.108 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snydergrad. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Government officials across Llama City One are being "encouraged" to adopt Llamas to set an example for the populace, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Llama City One's national animal is the Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the llamoleons.

Llama City One is ranked 126th in Texas and 101,728th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
