The Republic of Thorn413 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The quiet, industrious population of 1.71 billion Thorn413ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Thorn413ian economy, worth 70.7 trillion dragon dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 41,352 dragon dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn413's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thorn413 is ranked 97,146^th in the world and 1,239^th in Suspicious for Highest Poor Incomes, with 29,740.08 Standard Monetary Units.
