The Socialist Kingdom of Purplistan is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Lewing IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.053 billion Purplistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harderwijk. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Purplistanian economy, worth 419 trillion Drachmens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 82,968 Drachmens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, voting is voluntary, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Unicorn sacrifices, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purplistan's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.

Purplistan is ranked 294,850^th in the world and 603^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
