The People's Republic of Prplea is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 12 million Prpleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Prplean economy, worth 192 billion Krønrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 16,036 Krønrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prplea's national animal is the Ræðr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prplea is ranked 46,558^th in the world and 4^th in The General Committee of Prolya for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
