“You Can't Stop Progress”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Principality of Purple Rain 86 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prince with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.884 billion Purple Rain 86ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Rain 86ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 240,203 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple Rain 86's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Symbol.

Purple Rain 86 is ranked 260,437^th in the world and 394^th in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -191.95 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
