The Eternally Tired Raider of Thorn1000 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Thorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.334 billion Thorn1000ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 9,291 trillion Dragon Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 536,007 Dragon Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, organ donation is compulsory, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn1000's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Raiding.

Thorn1000 is ranked 261,076^th in the world and 1,501^st in the Outback for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
