The Join Lily of TLS 50 is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 9.762 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, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 421 trillion Join Lilies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,156 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 50's national animal is the Join Lily.

TLS 50 is ranked 145,007^th in the world and 3^rd in The Warden World for Most Authoritarian, with 731.55 milliStalins.
