The Join Lily of TLS 4 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 14.487 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 Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Join Lily economy, worth 543 trillion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,492 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TLS 4's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TLS 4 is ranked 155,092^nd in the world and 8^th in Federation of Galactic Empires for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,331.48 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
