The Nationstates nationstates of Thorn1000 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Battlemaster Thorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.193 billion Thornians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,041 trillion Dragon Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 413,485 Dragon Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,733,086 per year while the poor average 5,554, a ratio of 672 to 1.
