The Principality of Purple Rain 77 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.916 billion Purple Rain 77ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 77ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,663 trillion deniers 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, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. 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 281,168 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, Prince's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 77's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 77 is ranked 90,073^rd in the world and 602^nd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 5.92 billion capita.
