The ENDORSE BEEPEE of Purple Hyacinth is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Flower with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.65 billion Purple Hyacinthians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flower. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Purple Hyacinthian economy, worth 108 trillion flowers a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,519 flowers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Hyacinth's national animal is the flower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sophism.

Purple Hyacinth is ranked 15,445^th in the world and 502^nd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,589.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
