The Principality of Purple Rain 16 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.882 billion Purple Rain 16ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,212 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,180 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 620,395 per year while the poor average 53,454, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Purple Rain 16 after the ban on emigration was lifted, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and the Small Council has more than a little influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 16's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 16 is ranked 275,847^th in the world and 373^rd in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
