The Invader of Purple Lightsaber is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.225 billion Invaders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Purple Lightsaberian economy, worth 185 trillion Invader coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. 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 20,066 Invader coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is reining in public spending, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Lightsaber's national animal is the Invader eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Purple Lightsaber is ranked 260,919^th in the world and 248^th in Whitelist for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 10 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
