TLS 2

The Join Lily of TLS 2 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14.8 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Join Lily economy, worth 637 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,047 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends millions of Join Lilies every year prosecuting spammers, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, every day's an auto-de-fé day, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 2's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TLS 2 is ranked 180,150th in the world and 429th in Lily for Most Developed, scoring 53.56 on the Human Development Index.
