Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Thorn242 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.82 billion Thorn242ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn242ian economy, worth 657 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,495 francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Only those who apply can study applied maths, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, and the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn242's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn242 is ranked 238,920^th in the world and 3,676^th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 502.1 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
