The Respectable Purple Nation of Purpandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.077 billion Purpandas enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purple City. The average income tax rate is 15.0%.

The strong Purpandan economy, worth 180 trillion Purple Inkwells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 58,528 Purple Inkwells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and The President has just been declared ruler of Purpandia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Purpandia's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purpandia is ranked 158,243^rd in the world and 7,206^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
