The Holy Empire of Thorn30 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.122 billion Thorn30ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn30ian economy, worth 777 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,987 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Edutainment video games are taking Thorn30's students to the next level, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Thorn30's mid-life crisis, Jennifer Government is banned, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn30's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Thorn30 is ranked 31,175th in the world and 1st in The Dude for Highest Poor Incomes, with 74,058.64 Standard Monetary Units.
