The Republic of Thorn62 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, feral children, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.523 billion Thorn62ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn62ian economy, worth 590 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 130,455 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn62's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn62 is ranked 107,471^st in the world and 3^rd in The Library of Congress for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
