The Armed Republic of Thorn302 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.811 billion Thorn302ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn302ian economy, worth 620 trillion Platinums a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,064 Platinums, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, museums offer moralization or your money back, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn302's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn302 is ranked 45,951st in the world and 844th in Suspicious for Most Conservative, scoring 77.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
