The Principality of Purple Rain 24 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.863 billion Purple Rain 24ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 24ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,427 trillion pounds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,540 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 24's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
