The Federation of The Purples is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Julius Caesar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.585 billion Purplesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Purplesian economy, worth 189 trillion Lera Rumas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,366 Lera Rumas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Purples's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Purples is ranked 38,197^th in the world and 15^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Drug Use, scoring 310.65 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
