The Join Lily of Sweeze 49 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 11.279 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 government prioritizes Law & Order, with Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Join Lily economy, worth 523 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,431 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweeze 49's national animal is the Join Lily.
Sweeze 49 is ranked 148,691st in the world and 3,234th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
