The Principality of Purple Rain 91 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prince with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.891 billion Purple Rain 91ians 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 91ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion lire 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 299,238 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 91's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 91 is ranked 90,462nd in the world and 650th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 5.89 billion capita.
