The Principality of Purple Rain 85 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.825 billion Purple Rain 85ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 85ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,507 trillion deniers 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, Information Technology, 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 258,861 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 85's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.
