The Principality of Thistleblower is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.311 billion Thistleblowerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Thistleblowerian economy, worth 40.0 trillion prayers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,546 prayers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thistleblower's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thistleblower is ranked 280,596^th in the world and 15^th in Unicorn for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.48 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
