The Confederacy of Thorn275 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.217 billion Thorn275ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn275ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion levs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,008 levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn275's national animal is the jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn275 is ranked 18,121^st in the world and 1^st in The Free Mood for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 27,111.19 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
