The Interstellar Isle of Llalta is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Eve Gallaghan with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.92 billion Llaltese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Christopher. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The strong Llaltese economy, worth a remarkable 1,466 trillion Llaltese Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 92,106 Llaltese Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and a government program is underway to revitalize Llalta's beaches. Crime is totally unknown. Llalta's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Llalta is ranked 328,167^th in the world and 17,729^th in Balder for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 18.38 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
