The Democratic States of Purple Pearl is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Councillor of Pearl with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.346 billion Pearlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mother of Pearl. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Purple Pearlian economy, worth 139 trillion pearls a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,969 pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Pearl's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purple Pearl is ranked 74,656^th in the world and 559^th in The Communist Bloc for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.67 percentage of bribes refused.
