The Join Lily of TLS 7 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 10.328 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 485 trillion Join Lilies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,023 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 7's national animal is the Join Lily, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

TLS 7 is ranked 263,977th in the world and 2,902nd in Suspicious for Most Extreme, scoring 8.74 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
