The Oppressed Peoples of Thorn67 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.637 billion Thorn67ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 46.3%.

The all-consuming Thorn67ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,277 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The overhead luggage compartment is often full, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn67's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thorn67 is ranked 313,258th in the world and 6th in Sethryos for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -23 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
