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, infamous sell-swords, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.689 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 Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Llanand. The average income tax rate is 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 191 trillion Stoes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 113,314 Stoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. 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 213,947^th in the world and 3,315^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.98 Obesity Rate.
