The Join Lily of Sweeze 32 is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.57 billion Join Lily are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.
The Join Lily economy, worth 570 trillion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,341 Join Lilies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 144,506 per year while the poor average 13,290, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.
Parents dread their examinations more than their children, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", and elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Sweeze 32's national animal is the Join Lily.
Sweeze 32 is ranked 236,186th in the world and 6,795th in Suspicious for Most Stationary, with 22.51465920172 days.
