The Nationstates nationstates of Thorn1000 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Battlemaster Thorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.14 billion Thornians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,961 trillion Dragon Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 408,678 Dragon Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,689,685 per year while the poor average 5,489, a ratio of 672 to 1.
The commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Thorn1000 with a very polite populace, there's a hole in the heart of every Thorn1000ian city, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Thorn1000's mid-life crisis, and mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Peregrine Falcons and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1000's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Raiding.
Thorn1000 is ranked 10,817th in the world and 15th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
