The United People's Republic of Llan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Julius Carlisle with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.984 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 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 235 trillion Stoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 118,305 Stoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, Julius Carlisle's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and citizens can't decide whether to be proud or horrified by the country's colonial history. 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 78,614^th in the world and 1,298^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.39 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
