The Principality of Purple Rain 30 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prince with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.126 billion Purple Rain 30ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 30ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion pounds 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 234,690 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, childish pranks are no laughing matter, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and political commentators say that Prince's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 30's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 30 is ranked 286,180th in the world and 326th in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -212.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
