The Republic of Thorn258 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.767 billion Thorn258ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn258ian economy, worth 627 trillion francs 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. 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 131,577 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn258's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn258 is ranked 163,513^th in the world and 2,123^rd in Suspicious for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,944.95 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
