The Join Lily of Sweeze 28 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.995 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 582 trillion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,279 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, and Sweeze 28 is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweeze 28's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sweeze 28 is ranked 86,949^th in the world and 167^th in neck for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,771.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
