The Confederacy of Thorn275 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.166 billion Thorn275ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn275ian economy, worth 435 trillion levs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,611 levs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn275's national animal is the jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn275 is ranked 284,602^nd in the world and 8,645^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
