The Republic of Thorn468 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.637 billion Thorn468ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Thorn468ian economy, worth 99.3 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,663 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn468's national animal is the tiger.

Thorn468 is ranked 200,954^th in the world and 7,446^th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
