The Join Lily of 16-Sweeze is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 16.618 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 prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 690 trillion Join Lilies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,542 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 16-Sweeze's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

16-Sweeze is ranked 162,566^th in the world and 5^th in Chippewa for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
