Thorin is a small region consisting of 13 nations.

The wonderful region of Thorin is a huge, ranging plain, divided in half by a majestic mountain range. 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 (which has yet to be named), 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 a triumvirate escapade entailing representatives from the nations of Thingamajiggers, Neonne, and, although reluctantly, Romborg. Exactly what it is is unknown currently, but it is definitely of great interest in all of the governments in Thorin. The Delegate is the Most Serene Republic of Algolian.

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

Nations

gis_mone.jpg Gis Mone

The Protectorate of Gis Mone is a former region of Thingamajiggers, classified by the UN as a "Left-Wing Utopia". Known as "The Great Thingamajiggeri Socialist Experiment", the nation was created by Karnbeln Arias Nejika after witnessing the fact that the current socialist countries in Thorin actually weren't collapsing. Intrigued, Nejika turned his ear toward the quickly growing Communist party of Thingamajiggers. He decided to transform one of the provinces of Thingamajiggers into its own country, which would remain a protectorate of Thingamajiggers. The purpose of the protectorate would be to test the socialist system in Thingamajiggers, seeing if the people of the region were actually ready for the Revolution. Gis Mone's civil rights are a world benchmark, as are its political freedoms. Its economy is reasonable. Gis Mone's national animal is the yellow cardinal and its currency is the modarch.

germany--66.jpg Helical Anatomy

The Republic of Helical Anatomy is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws with a hard-nosed, cynical population of 10 million. It's a corrupt dictatorship with good civil rights, a reasonable economy, and outlawed political freedoms. Helical Anatomy's national animal is the sloth and its currency is the helic.

united_kingdom--53.jpg Hinotashi

The Free Land of Hinotashi is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The population is 6 million. Hinotashi's national animal is the mountain dew and its currency is the sektu. There are some civil rights and excellent political freedoms. Their animal was named the Mountain Dew because the scientists discovered a new animal but the guy who makes up the names was on vacation, so they named it after the ruler's favorite drink and the name stuck. The economy is a powerhouse. It's a corporate bordello. The nation hosts many sports stadiums, allowing teams from different countries play. They are Hinotashi Bowl (Football), Pepsi Park (Baseball), Lexidome (Soccer), Mountain Dew Forum (Basketball), and the Sapphire Center (Hockey). Its ruler is Ka-Ris.

kruschuchk.jpg Kruschuchk

The People's Republic of Kruschuchk is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. It is currently ranked by the UN as a Democratic Socialist nation, but it is devoted to communism. Its national animal is the chthonian, its currency is the yuabl, it has some civil rights, the economy is currently fragile, and political freedoms are good. Ruled by Crezth C. Hand, founder of the Krusoc (Kruschuchkikan Socialist Party), it is highly socially-minded and very anti-capitalist. Once part of Xerconia, Kruschuchk was literally built out of the ashes of a hyper-superpower, which rivaled even Thingamajiggers. However, Crezth and the Krusoc Party rebelled against the extremist government, and a powerful revolution was underway - one which had gained so much momentum that not even Xerconia's Black Army could stop it. After a mass genocide of over 600 million people, the Krusoc Party took control and established the modern People's Republic of Kruschuchk. Now, Kruschuchk's political influence threatens much of the capitalist states of Thorin, and Kruschuchk is fast developing a Red Army through the power of their industry.

The Oppressed Peoples of Lugonomeks is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Black ChickenCrabDodo population. It has always wavered between "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy and "New York Times Democracy", except for a brief time in its early history when it inexplicably became classified as "Democratic Socialists".

makh_allet.jpg Makh Allet

The Kingdom of Makh Allet is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. It is a total dictatorship, ruled without mercy by the First Jingh, Azkabar Kanath. There are some civil rights (a complete accident on behalf of the Jingh), the economy is good (although the Jingh warns the people that they may be reminded just how fragile the human body is if that soon doesn't become "excellent"), and political freedoms are unheard of (the person only exists to serve the government). After Thingamabobber's totalitarian government collapsed, it was reabsorbed into Thingamajiggers. However, the land stayed turbulent, and the citizens rejected the Karnbeln's rule. Kanath managed to organize the many factions and establish himself as the leader of the region. To avoid potential nuclear war, the Karnbeln allowed the region to secede once more (the people did not wish to live with "the traitors of Bobbers" anyway), although Kanath decreed that it would go down in Alletian history books as a deadly battle, which ended with Kanath slaying the current Karnbeln. The current population of the country is 7 million. Its national animal is the aquatic leopard and its currency is the vuttsit.

Categorized by the UN as a "left-leaning college state", it has superb civil rights and political freedoms. Obviously the oldest place in modern Thorin, Thingamajiggers has a population of 2.837 billion people. This is probably what has caused it to become the 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, although relations between the two powers were strained due to the large differences in the countries' ruling styles.

Expired Nations

These nations no longer exist, but their profiles have been left en memoriam.

Touria

The Federation of Touria is a large country that was elected as the Region's United Nations delegate in the past. It has OK civil rights, and a strong economy. It is a strange place, and the citizens are usually considered "The OddBalls of Thorin". Many Tourians take slight offense at this nick-name, but they tend to get along with the rest of the place. Prime Minister MAX Allen is always trying to keep the country straight. Unfortunately, the Federation of Touria has ceased to exist, so no additional information can be added. (this information is kept for nostalgic purposes)

Another Hyrule

The Kingdom of Another Hyrule is a heroic nation, though oddly enough, gambling is the main idustry in Another Hyrule. Right now the government's main priority is religion and spirituality. Compared to the other nations in Thorin, Another Hyrule would be considered average. The ruler of Another Hyrule is That Other Link. The national animal is the cucco and the currency is the Rupee.

Chaindrive

The Holy Empire of Chaindrive is a capitalist's paradise. The economy in Chaindrive is strong, the civil rights are excellent, but political freedoms are low. The tax rate in Chaindrive is at 6%, the lowest in Thorin. Strong bonds have been formed between Chaindrive and The Democratic Republic of TJW. The egotistic ruler of Chaindrive is Chaindrive. The national animal is the maggot and the currency is the dollar.

Dark Aether II

The Rogue Nation of Dark Aether II is a Metroid obsessed nation with a strong sense of democracy. There is a very strong metroid theme here. According to the ruler of Dark Aether II, Phazon Child, Dark Samus makes her living here. Dark Ather II is economically average nation in Thorin. The national animal here is the Shegoth and the currency is the red dollar.

Prodan

The Free Land of Prodan is a democratic, left-wing nation that has very good civil rights and excellent political freedoms. Its economy is struggling, but it hopes to recover and is showing signs of improvement. One sign of the nation's love of freedom is its flag. It has the word "Freiheit", which means "Freedom" in German written across it. It is headed by President MAX Allen, former leader of Dig-Dug. Its national animal is the Canaan and its currency is the Ur.

TJW

The Democratic Republic of TJW is a capitalist's paradise, just like the nation of Chaindrive. The Economy here is very strong, and with a high GDP of about 16,000 this nation really is a capitalist's paradise. Currecntly the government's top priority is social welfare. The nation is ruled by Kiteharker. The national animal is the wolf and the currency is the Dollar.

Lunaith

The Democratic Republic of Lunaith is an inoffensive centrist democracy. Lunaith's GDP is about average compared to the rest of Thorin, and it's economy is good. Somehow the nation manages to make money off it's biggest industry, woodchip exports. The ruler of Lunatith is Lumino. The national animal is the hawk and the currency is the Lunite.

Tortaras

Not much is known about this nation because it was abandoned near the beginning of it's existance. No information was in the wiki until now, after it ceasing to exist.

Thingamabobbers

The Empire of Thingamabobbers, which is a corrupt dictatorship with no political freedoms, is a sister nation to Thingamajiggers. When the original Thingamajigs government became corrupt and the people revolted, the old government managed to occupy a small area of the country. It established it as its own nation, much like the nationalist government of China fled to Taiwan during the communist take over of China. The national animal of Thingamabobbers is the vulture and it's currency is the vutsit.

Xerconia

The former UN delegate of Thorin, The Empire of Xerconia is a Corporate Police State with almost no civil rights and no political freedoms. Xerconia is a highly extremist nation with low tax rates and wavering laws that always seem to contradict. Xerconia has a thriving economy that is matched only by the Constitutional Monarchy of Romborg. Xerconia spends more than half of their expenditures on militaristic defence and law and order, and are quick to respond when a neighbouring nation acts out of place.

Neonne

The Republic of Neonne is a peaceful nation that dislikes war. Neonne has a good economy, very good civil rights, and suberb political freedoms. Neonne has no enemies in Thorin, all the nations are considered friends to Neonne. Compared to the other nations in Thorin, Neonne would be considered an average nation. The national animal of Neonne is the Yeti and the currency is the gold piece.

Ennoe

Someone, the ruler of Neonne, is strongly related to a psychotic dictatorship, known as The Oppressed Peoples of Ennoe. Ennoe is the exact opposite of Neonne. The people here are considered "play things". Ennoe is considered noteworthy to Someone because the leader of Ennoe is strongly related to him. You could even say they were clones in a way. Ennoe and Neonne are considered sister nations, in a way. The national animal of Ennoe is the Satan and the currecncy is the Shell.

Romborg

The Constitutional Monarchy of Romborg is the former UN delegate of Thorin. Romborg is considered to be an evil nation, but seems to be doing good economically. In fact, Romborg has the highest GDP per captia in Thorin, much to the dismay of Xerconia. Romborg also has the highest tax rate of Thorin. The ruler of Romborg, Dr.Stefan Von Emulator, has an extreme obsession with premier cola and ROMs. He wears a metal armor all the time and rarely takes it off. The capital city of Romborg is Romberg, where famous buildings like Castle Ever, Emulation Tower and Romoseum are in.

Massford

The United States of Massford is a New York Times democracy. It contains a population of 743 million. Massford's national animal is the Hylian, (which was much to the chagrin of the former nation of Another Hyrule) and it's currency is the Pound. In the past it did not take place in Thorin, but in the ruler's (Travis Batos) computer room.

Buzzsaw Park

The Free Country of Buzzsaw Park is ruled by Buzzsaw, is a small island nation off the coast of Thorin, but is still part of the Thorin region. Consisting of buildings and one large building, Buzzsaw Park has a strong army. The large building is home to the ruler, and the top ranked military officials meet there. Buzzsaw Park is no match for large nations in war. It's national animal is the Sea Cow and the currency is the Beri.

Shadow Genesis

Ruled by Red Link, the Armed Republic of Shadow Genesis is a democratic socialist country. Its national animal is the koopa and its currency the coin.
