The Republic of Thorn1 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.849 billion Thorn1ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion Idks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,650 Idks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1's national animal is the Idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn1 is ranked 37,816th in the world and 189th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
