The Principality of Purple Rain 56 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.902 billion Purple Rain 56ians 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 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 56ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,464 trillion kronor 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 248,064 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Industry leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Purple Rain 56ian emissions at all, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and elections have recently been reintroduced to Purple Rain 56. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 56's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 56 is ranked 285,696^th in the world and 506^th in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
