The Republic of Thorn59 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.262 billion Thorn59ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn59ian economy, worth 910 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 145,453 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn59's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn59 is ranked 32,274^th in the world and 279^th in Suspicious for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,077.68 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
