The Holy Empire of Violetists is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.406 billion Violetists 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.4%.

The strong Violetist economy, worth 72.6 trillion skulls a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,602 skulls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and a major religion has been named as Violetists's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violetists's national animal is the skeleton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Violetists is ranked 188,062^nd in the world and 5,910^th in The East Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4.47 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
