The United States of Thorn210 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.357 billion Thorn210ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn210ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,061 trillion Golds 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 127,048 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn210's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn210 is ranked 52,689^th in the world and 2^nd in The Internationale Communista for Highest Poor Incomes, with 54,007.84 Standard Monetary Units.
