The Republic of Thorn46 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.762 billion Thorn46ians 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 Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn46ian economy, worth 907 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,574 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, Thorn46ian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn46's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn46 is ranked 10,769^th in the world and 1^st in Higvomni for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 82,726.4 Standard Monetary Units.
