The Violent Purple of The Sparkling Army is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.147 billion Sparkles live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The strong Sparkling economy, worth 105 trillion Spareks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,172 Spareks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,918 per year while the poor average 3,082, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sparkling Army's national animal is the Beast, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Sparkling Army is ranked 278,164^th in the world and 44^th in The Infinite Army for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
