The Republic of Thorn54 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.28 billion Thorn54ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn54ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion Euros 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 166,101 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, billions of Euros are spent to take high-quality photos of the Lion Nebula, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn54's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn54 is ranked 77,317^th in the world and 850^th in Suspicious for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,521.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
