The People's Republic of Purattia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10 million Purattians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Purattian economy, worth 300 billion Šíklos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,025 Šíklos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purattia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purattia is ranked 95,854^th in the world and 1,731^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 49.15 Effective Tax Rate.
