The Republic of Thorn55 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.292 billion Thorn55ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn55ian economy, worth 869 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, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 138,228 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn55's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn55 is ranked 65,800^th in the world and 728^th in Suspicious for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,683.67 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
