The Free Land of Thorn105 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.588 billion Thorn105ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.

The all-consuming Thorn105ian economy, worth 508 trillion Golds 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 141,632 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn105's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn105 is ranked 276,291^st in the world and 9^th in Zilkol for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
