Thorn35

The Republic of Thorn35 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.096 billion Thorn35ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn35ian economy, worth 890 trillion dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 146,087 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,122 per year while the poor average 26,972, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

Warning signs caution Thorn35ians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Thorn35. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn35's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Thorn35 is ranked 200,980th in the world and 3,583rd in Suspicious for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 2.5 missed references per hour.
