The Republic of Thorn5 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.384 billion Thorn5ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn5ian economy, worth 875 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 137,168 Idks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 592,038 per year while the poor average 20,245, a ratio of 29.2 to 1.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, there's a hole in the heart of every Thorn5ian city, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn5's national animal is the Idk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn5 is ranked 289,603rd in the world and 8,423rd in Suspicious for Most Stationary, with 3.15487298088 days.
