The United People's Republic of Llan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Julius Carlisle with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.825 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 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 201 trillion Stoes a year, is fairly diversified and led 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 110,193 Stoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Urbanites are banned from bucolic settings for safety concerns, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Llanian stage setups, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Llan. 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.

Llan is ranked 37,334^th in the world and 842^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.1 Effective Tax Rate.
