The Republic of Thorn232 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.274 billion Thorn232ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn232ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,965 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, increasing numbers of children in Thorn232 have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn232's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn232 is ranked 109,721^st in the world and 2^nd in The great union of nations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,017.45 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
