The Join Lily of TLS 38 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 13.732 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 592 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 43,173 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 38's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TLS 38 is ranked 134,813^th in the world and 3^rd in Vanilla Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
