The Republic of Thorn264 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.078 billion Thorn264ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn264ian economy, worth 415 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 134,994 francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
