The Great Ranch of LlamaLore is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Poultry Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.378 billion LlamaLoreans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upper Stratos. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse LlamaLorean economy, worth 132 trillion Silver coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,840 Silver coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LlamaLore's national animal is the Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The League of The Tardis.
LlamaLore is ranked 288,007th in the world and 6th in The Great Storm for Most Primitive, scoring -236.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
