The Principality of Purple Rain 92 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, avant-garde cinema, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.206 billion Purple Rain 92ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 92ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,035 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 282,519 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 954,573 per year while the poor average 61,845, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Love Symbol now admits men and women into its clergy, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 92's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 92 is ranked 313,301st in the world and 333rd in NationStates for Safest, scoring 4.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
