The Matriarchy of Thornenburt is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and lack of airports. The compassionate population of 2.407 billion Smuckers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orrville. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Thornenburtian economy, worth 173 trillion Preserves 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, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. 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 71,973 Preserves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, farmers' market days almost always end in a shooting, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Thornenburt's national animal is the Cedar Waxwing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thornenburt is ranked 261,217th in the world and 8,507th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 14.38723384772 days.
