The Principality of Purple Rain 80 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.881 billion Purple Rain 80ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 80ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,191 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, 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 202,657 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No true communist is an unbeliever, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 80's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 80 is ranked 90,589th in the world and 663rd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 5.88 billion capita.
