The Republic of Thorn11 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.111 billion Thorn11ians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn11ian economy, worth 885 trillion Idks 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 144,908 Idks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 637,788 per year while the poor average 20,666, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

The new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn11's national animal is the Idk.

Thorn11 is ranked 16,891^st in the world and 11^th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
