The Join Lily of 34-Sweeze is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 11.383 billion Join Lily are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 475 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,764 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 34-Sweeze's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

34-Sweeze is ranked 262,192^nd in the world and 7^th in The Land of Communism for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
