OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Most Serene Republic of Purinland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Paladin Danse with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.598 billion Purinlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Purinlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,029 trillion Purin Pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,690 Purin Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, all the playground's a stage for Purinlandian schoolchildren, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purinland's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purinland is ranked 11,773rd in the world and 217th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,114.13067473328 days.
