The Republic of Thorn549 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 3.216 billion Thorn549ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.5%.

The thriving Thorn549ian economy, worth 222 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,061 guilders, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,101 per year while the poor average 6,894, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

Kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, cobras with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, museums offer moralization or your money back, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn549's national animal is the cobra.

Thorn549 is ranked 99,552nd in the world and 1,112th in Suspicious for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 49.5 Effective Tax Rate.
