The United People's Republic of Llan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Julius Carlisle with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.776 billion Llanians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Llanand. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 199 trillion Stoes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 112,471 Stoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Llan, and recognizing the Llanian flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Llan's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Llan is ranked 267,472^nd in the world and 3,797^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
