The Purple flowers of Purple 5 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Purple with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.874 billion Purple 5ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flowerville. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple 5ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,461 trillion Petals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

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 318,294 Petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
