The Republic of Thorn1 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.969 billion Thorn1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,170 trillion Idks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 167,911 Idks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the military struggles with recruitment, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1's national animal is the Idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn1 is ranked 171,699^th in the world and 5,713^th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
