The Join Lily of TLS 14 is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 13.654 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 587 trillion Join Lilies a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,028 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, gym teachers instruct advanced-level calculus classes, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 14's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TLS 14 is ranked 219,188^th in the world and 746^th in Lily for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 789.67 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
