The Republic of Thorn470 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.623 billion Thorn470ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Thorn470ian economy, worth 570 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 86,099 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 466,777 per year while the poor average 8,195, a ratio of 57.0 to 1.

Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and the nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn470's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn470 is ranked 229,363^rd in the world and 9,030^th in Osiris for Most Secular, with 14.27 Atheism Rate.
