The Queendom of Thorn147 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 8.488 billion Thorn147ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Thorn147ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,308 trillion Deneroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,163 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, throwing a sickie is a serious crime, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn147's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Thorn147 is ranked 82,154^th in the world and 2^nd in HITO International for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,224.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
