Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Somewhat awesome nation of Super-Llamaland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 770 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Llama. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43%. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Pizza Delivery.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Super-Llamaland's border, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and Super-Llamaland has designated New Llama as its capital city. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Super-Llamaland's national animal is the aardvark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nugget.

Super-Llamaland is ranked 51st in Oceanside and 87,962nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -20 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
