The Join Lily of Switz 12 is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 14.798 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 621 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,973 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, the police double as repo men, and women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switz 12's national animal is the Join Lily.

Switz 12 is ranked 195,691^st in the world and 600^th in neck for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 543.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
