The Join Lily of Sweeze 34 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The democratic population of 11.607 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Join Lily economy, worth 494 trillion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,610 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
The letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, snitches get riches, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweeze 34's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Sweeze 34 is ranked 141,931st in the world and 2,936th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
