The Purple flowers of Purple 4 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Purple with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.827 billion Purple 4ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flowerville. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,554 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 235,898 Petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", prevalence rates of genitourinary infectious disease are inexplicably on the rise, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple 4's national animal is the Honey bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Purple.

Purple 4 is ranked 13,245th in the world and 58th in Nerdlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
