The Republic of Thorn60 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.592 billion Thorn60ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn60ian economy, worth 690 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 150,472 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Many in Thorn60 are born in the purple, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn60's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn60 is ranked 291,019th in the world and 6th in Anton Khudobin for Most Stationary, with 2.78126905332 days.
