The Join Lily of TLS 47 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The quiet, industrious population of 13.838 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, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 598 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 128,335^th in the world and 4^th in The Money Lovers Alliance for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,993.03 Standard Monetary Units.
