The Join Lily of TLS 47 is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 13.638 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 588 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,178 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, schoolchildren learn basic numeracy by counting off their push-ups, back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Join Lily politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 47's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TLS 47 is ranked 103,511^th in the world and 479^th in Lily for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,756.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
