The United Socialist States of Thorn160 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.118 billion Thorn160ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn160ian economy, worth 669 trillion Latinums 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. 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 130,780 Latinums, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The same 5118 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, and squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn160's national animal is the Python, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn160 is ranked 172,453rd in the world and 1,993rd in Suspicious for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 996.63 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
