The Join Lily of Switz 15 is a titanic, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.795 billion Join Lily have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.7%.

The Join Lily economy, worth 646 trillion Join Lilies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,646 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switz 15's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Switz 15 is ranked 169,780^th in the world and 3^rd in Varathron for Smartest Citizens, with 27.33 quips per hour.
