The Join Lily of 71-Sweeze is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 11.44 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Join Lily economy, worth 466 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,820 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Join Lily. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 71-Sweeze's national animal is the Join Lily, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
71-Sweeze is ranked 159,601st in the world and 3,377th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 480.82 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
