The Nationstates nationstates of Thorn1000 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Battlemaster Thorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.237 billion Thornians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business 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 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn1000ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,068 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 an amazing 414,225 Dragon Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,739,768 per year while the poor average 5,564, a ratio of 672 to 1.

Labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, every street in the nation contains at least three law firms, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Utopia Times is sold out, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. 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 289,924th in the world and 251st in The Brotherhood of Malice for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
