The Republic of Purpose Robot is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 242 million Purpose Robotians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Purpose Robotian economy, worth 10.4 trillion Butters a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,039 Butters, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and many in Purpose Robot are born in the purple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purpose Robot's national animal is the Robot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Purpose Robot is ranked 212,582^nd in the world and 5,045^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
