The Free Land of Thorn149 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.652 billion Thorn149ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.6%.

The powerhouse Thorn149ian economy, worth 430 trillion Deneroes 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 117,785 Deneroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn149's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thorn149 is ranked 73,636^th in the world and 2^nd in Londinium for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 105 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
