The Principality of Purple Rain 90 is a colossal, efficient 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 5.618 billion Purple Rain 90ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 90ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion bitcoins 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 234,567 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
The nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 90's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.
Purple Rain 90 is ranked 26,877th in the world and 392nd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
