The Principality of Purple Rain 95 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.781 billion Purple Rain 95ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 95ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,367 trillion marks 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, 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 236,477 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The overhead luggage compartment is often full, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the dartboard at the Purple Rain 95ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Prince's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 95's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Love Symbol.
Purple Rain 95 is ranked 23,882nd in the world and 369th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
