Thorn123

Population5.268 billion

The United States of Thorn123 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.268 billion Thorn123ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn123ian economy, worth 773 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,744 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn123's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn123 is ranked 99,431st in the world and 1,110th in Suspicious for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 49.53 Effective Tax Rate.
