The Free Land of Thorn79 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.062 billion Thorn79ians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn79ian economy, worth 683 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,758 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn79's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn79 is ranked 203,746th in the world and 2,709th in Suspicious for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 828.31 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
