The Republic of Thorn35 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.507 billion Thorn35ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn35ian economy, worth 955 trillion dollars 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 146,890 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 560,474 per year while the poor average 26,633, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, and standing on a chair to reach a top shelf is seen as evidence of narcissistic personality disorder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn35's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Thorn35 is ranked 59,508^th in the world and 556^th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,316.63 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
