The Purple flowers of Purple 1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Purple Tree with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.181 billion Purple 1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flowerville. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Purple 1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,426 trillion Petals 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, 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 216,982 Petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
A typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, and understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple 1's national animal is the Honey bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Flowers.
Purple 1 is ranked 45,131st in the world and 31st in Nerdlandia for Most Stationary, with 972.92720371508 days.
