The Principality of Purple Rain 95 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.68 billion Purple Rain 95ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded 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 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 95ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion marks 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, 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 233,698 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A video of Prince wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Purple Rain 95, and serial killers are the country's biggest import. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 95's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Love Symbol.
Purple Rain 95 is ranked 147,633rd in the world and 697th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 172.2008967358 days.
