The Purple flowers of Purple 10 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Purple with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.79 billion Purple 10ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flowerville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Purple 10ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,565 trillion Petals 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, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. 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 237,746 Petals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,531 per year while the poor average 61,375, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.
The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purple 10's national animal is the Honey bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Purple.
Purple 10 is ranked 23,791st in the world and 191st in Nerdlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
