The People's Republic of East Llapo is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 539 million Llapovians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Llapovian economy, worth 7.02 trillion Soledads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 13,018 Soledads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, genetic researchers have been expelled, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Llapo's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
East Llapo is ranked 200,699th in the world and 182nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Smartest Citizens, with 25.41 quips per hour.
