The Protectorate of Thorn76 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.531 billion Thorn76ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn76ian economy, worth 882 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,508 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn76's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn76 is ranked 28,066^th in the world and 1^st in The United Communes of Atlas for Highest Poor Incomes, with 78,475.95 Standard Monetary Units.
