The Free Land of Thorn140 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.634 billion Thorn140ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn140ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,280 trillion Deneroes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,302 Deneroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many in Thorn140 are born in the purple, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn140's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn140 is ranked 292,717^th in the world and 4^th in Hikto for Most Secular, with 7.84 Atheism Rate.
