The United People's Republic of Llan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Julius Carlisle with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.782 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Llanand. The average income tax rate is 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 200 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 112,323 Stoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Recognizing the Llanian flag qualifies you for citizenship, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and museums offer moralization or your money back. 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 13,258^th in the world and 453^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,953.97 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
