Thorin is a small region consisting of 10 nations.

The wonderful region of Thorin is a huge, ranging plain, divided in half by a majestic mountain range, which divides the region into the sub-regions of Haekaz and Zirconia. One incredible feature concerning Thorin is its abnormally large forests. Forests stretching hundreds of miles in all directions are scattered across the region of Thorin. As for the mountain range, named Thornichi after the nomadic tribes that entered the region and made it their home, great deposits of extremely heavy materials have been found, such as gold and silver. Although the mountains are constantly mined, remarkably wildlife still prospers within the range. What is perhaps even more intriguing is that within icy mountain caves, remarkable archaeological finds were made by an escapade entailing representatives from the nations of Thingamajiggers, Neonne, Xerconia and, although reluctantly, Romborg. These finds brought evidence of Thornichi habitation in the mountains, by all tribes, as starting much earlier than previously thought. The current delegate of Thorin is the Terra Solva of Thingamajiggers.

The founder of this crop-rich land, the Republic of Meredeth, has ceased to exist.

Obviously the oldest place in modern Thorin, Thingamajiggers has a population of over four billion people, part of what has caused it to become a regional super-power. Thingamajiggers came into being when an earlier nation, Thingamajigs, ceased to exist. The Rogue Nation of Thingamajigs dated back to the time of the original founding of Thorin. Thingamajiggers and the Empire of Xerconia were once in a fierce cold war, although when it ended they became allies. However, relations between the two powers were strained due to the large differences in the countries' ruling styles. This eventually accumulated into war when the socialist country of Kruschuchk, an offshoot of Xerconia, reverted into its previous government.

After the war, the government of Unleimeks must answer to the Thorin International Council.

The former UN delegate of Thorin, The Empire of Xerconia began as a Corporate Police State with few civil rights and almost no political freedoms. Xerconia was a highly extremist nation with low tax rates and wavering laws that always seemed to contradict, as well as a thriving economy matched only by Romborg, its fellow Zirconian nation. However, eventually the empire fell, and was replaced by a brutal government known as Pejite. Eventually, the population refused to put up with it anymore, and the resulting revolt led to the Communist country of Krushchuchk. Kruschuchk fell due to a series of events that began with Kruschuchk attacking a wounded Thingamajiggers and ended in Xerkunia, the remnants of the old Xerconian government, restoring its former government. Xerconia was reborn, with the same authoritarian government as previously. However, due to recent reforms, Xerconia has become a democracy - albeit a pitiful one. Xerconia's population is 2.491 billion, its national animal is the assemblie plant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kreditische. In 826 BF, Vandaruruk, a general of the Black Army, staged a coup and reestablished a dictatorship so as to effectively carry out war with Unleimeks.
