The Republic of Thorn222 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.321 billion Thorn222ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn222ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion francs 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 148,536 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn222's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn222 is ranked 296,864^th in the world and 3^rd in Dragonborn Confederate for Most Secular, with 6.92 Atheism Rate.
