The Theocracy of Thorn21 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.375 billion Thorn21ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn21ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,039 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 163,076 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn21's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn21 is ranked 42,438^th in the world and 1^st in Endless Road for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,300.1 Standard Monetary Units.
