The Dominion of Thorn287 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.181 billion Thorn287ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn287ian economy, worth 505 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 158,941 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn287's national animal is the condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thorn287 is ranked 8,654^th in the world and 16^th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,987.43 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
