The Emirate of Thorn24 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.402 billion Thorn24ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn24ian economy, worth 995 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,459 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn24's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thorn24 is ranked 63,156^th in the world and 319^th in Suspicious for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 51,457.13 Standard Monetary Units.
