The Republic of Thorn333 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.787 billion Thorn333ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.

The all-consuming Thorn333ian economy, worth 411 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. 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 147,530 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,383 per year while the poor average 27,646, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn333's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn333 is ranked 55,344^th in the world and 719^th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 562.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
