The Principality of Purple Rain 77 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.427 billion Purple Rain 77ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 66.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 77ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,108 trillion deniers a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,905 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, and kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 77's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 77 is ranked 81,600^th in the world and 632^nd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 7.43 billion capita.
