The Colony of Purple Roses is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bee population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.708 billion Purple Rosesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.

The Purple Rosesian economy, worth 738 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 39,485 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is moderate. Purple Roses's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Purple Roses is ranked 233,576^th in the world and 2^nd in The Rose Garden for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
