The Republic of Thorn541 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, devout population of 1.584 billion Thorn541ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 47.3%.
The strong Thorn541ian economy, worth 93.2 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,849 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn541's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn541 is ranked 79,424th in the world and 1,474th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,235.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
