The Holy Theocracy of The Violetist Party is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Father Lord with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.007 billion Violetisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faithron. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Violetisian economy, worth 354 trillion Chips of holiness 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 impressive 118,001 Chips of holiness, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, firework salesmen are regularly arrested for selling contraband "space rockets", foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, and churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Violetist Party's national animal is the Divine Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

The Violetist Party is ranked 17,397^th in the world and 1^st in Amber Hills for Largest Black Market, with 241 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
