The Republic of Thorn41 is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.026 billion Thorn41ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn41ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,292 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,866 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 396,072 per year while the poor average 32,412, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Thorn41 City Natural History Museum, and suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn41's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn41 is ranked 315,793^rd in the world and 6^th in East Drastico for Least Corrupt Governments, with 47.15 percentage of bribes refused.
