The Republic of Thorn451 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.605 billion Thorn451ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.7%.

The strong Thorn451ian economy, worth 103 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,520 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

All screens are equal but some are more equal than others, the might of the entire Thorn451ian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn451's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn451 is ranked 120,724^th in the world and 4,136^th in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.49 kickbacks per hour.
