The United People's Republic of Llan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Julius Carlisle with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.714 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 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Llanian economy, worth 195 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 113,927 Stoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving. 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 248,431^st in the world and 3,695^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
