The NationStates of Thorn1000 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Battlemaster Thorn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.486 billion Thornians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 6,532 trillion Dragon Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 484,419 Dragon Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund, the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1000's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Raiding.

Thorn1000 is ranked 2,257^th in the world and 2^nd in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 12,971.41 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
