The Republic of Thorn3 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.096 billion Thorn3ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn3ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion Idks 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, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 140,697 Idks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn3's national animal is the Idk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Thorn3 is ranked 51,338th in the world and 529th in Suspicious for Largest Governments, scoring 22.18 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
