The Incorporated States of Thorn297 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.695 billion Thorn297ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn297ian economy, worth 581 trillion leks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,917 leks, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Thorn297ian dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, and all screens are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn297's national animal is the springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn297 is ranked 20,956th in the world and 68th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,917.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
