The Matriarchy of Thorn205 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.951 billion Thorn205ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn205ian economy, worth 569 trillion Deneroes a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,109 Deneroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 330,506 per year while the poor average 31,879, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.
Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, and Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn205's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn205 is ranked 319,162nd in the world and 4,365th in Suspicious for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
