The Principality of Purple Rain 29 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.939 billion Purple Rain 29ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 82.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 29ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,511 trillion francs 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 254,466 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's a hole in the heart of every Purple Rain 29ian city, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and tabloids coo over Prince's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 29's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 29 is ranked 283,763rd in the world and 518th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 20.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
