Thorn65

Population5.898 billion

The Republic of Thorn65 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.898 billion Thorn65ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn65ian economy, worth 792 trillion Golds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,415 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, 'Black Bearnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, and foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn65's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn65 is ranked 37,891st in the world and 541st in Suspicious for Most Authoritarian, with 2,137.18 milliStalins.
