The Republic of Thorn194 is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.897 billion Thorn194ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn194ian economy, worth 664 trillion bitcoins 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 135,601 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Thorn194's radio stations, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn194's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Thorn194 is ranked 25,266th in the world and 125th in Suspicious for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.55 Effective Tax Rate.
