The Republic of Thorn15 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.293 billion Thorn15ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,286 trillion Idks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,380 Idks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Idks that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn15's national animal is the Idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn15 is ranked 20,962nd in the world and 29th in Suspicious for Largest Governments, scoring 30.12 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
