The Royaume de Nettoyage of Purgatio is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Magnificus-Dominus De La Fayette with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.373 billion Purgations are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravaliér. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Purgation economy, worth 760 trillion Élites a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 225,452 Élites, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,808,483 per year while the poor average 6,505, a ratio of 278 to 1.

Children usually cry on their first day of school, becoming a missionary is a sure-fire route to martyrdom, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and Magnificus-Dominus De La Fayette has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purgatio's national animal is the Viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mandatum Est.

Purgatio is ranked 5,352^nd in the world and 88^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 97.59 Atheism Rate.
