The Nationstates NationStates of Thorn1000 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Taskmaster Thorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, avant-garde cinema, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.376 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, moralistic, pro-business, 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 94.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,048 trillion Dragon Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 355,879 Dragon Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,224,178 per year while the poor average 4,628, a ratio of 696 to 1.
The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the only place where one can see the Thorn1000ian cherry tree is in a museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1000's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Raiding.
Thorn1000 is ranked 11,783rd in the world and 14th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
