The Republic of Thorn14 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.049 billion Thorn14ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn14ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,150 trillion Idks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,177 Idks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 623,805 per year while the poor average 29,496, a ratio of 21.1 to 1.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Thorn14's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn14's national animal is the Idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorn14 is ranked 308,096^th in the world and 4,237^th in Suspicious for Most Secular, with 2.74 Atheism Rate.
