Thorn14

The Republic of Thorn14 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.322 billion Thorn14ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn14ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,215 trillion Idks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,989 Idks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 613,517 per year while the poor average 31,656, a ratio of 19.4 to 1.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, polygamy is legal, and Thorn14 City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn14's national animal is the Idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn14 is ranked 316,838th in the world and 4,624th in Suspicious for Most Pacifist, with 5.49 cheeks turned per day.
