The Join Lily of Switz 1 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.103 billion Join Lily are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Join Lily economy, worth 952 trillion Join Lilies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 59,102 Join Lilies, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", sex changes are routinely performed at Switz 1's hospitals, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Switz 1's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Switz 1 is ranked 36,173^rd in the world and 1^st in Yorkshire Establishment for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
