The Join Lily of Sweeze 4 is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 17.21 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 Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 580 trillion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,714 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, throwing a sickie is a serious crime, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweeze 4's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sweeze 4 is ranked 320,808^th in the world and 1,204^th in Lily for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
