The Free Land of Thorn149 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.048 billion Thorn149ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.4%.

The all-consuming Thorn149ian economy, worth 623 trillion Deneroes 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, 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 123,610 Deneroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn149's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thorn149 is ranked 301,563^rd in the world and 3,867^th in Suspicious for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
