The Join Lily of Switz 1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.56 billion Join Lily are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.
The very strong Join Lily economy, worth 624 trillion Join Lilies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 59,102 Join Lilies, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", sex changes are routinely performed at Switz 1's hospitals, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Switz 1's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Switz 1 is ranked 247,085th in the world and 3rd in Somewhere but Nowhere for Most Stationary, with 19.7848484488 days.
