The Principality of Purple Rain 73 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.807 billion Purple Rain 73ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 73ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,509 trillion francs 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, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 259,980 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 73's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 73 is ranked 10,130^th in the world and 174^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
