The Join Lily of Sweeze 48 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 12.887 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The Join Lily economy, worth 647 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 50,271 Join Lilies, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Gigantic new prisons are springing up all over the nation, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweeze 48's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sweeze 48 is ranked 209,201^st in the world and 2^nd in United ItalianSpeaking Empires or UISE for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
