The Democratic States of Purple Pearl is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Councillor of Pearl with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.718 billion Perilians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mother of Pearl. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Purple Pearlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion pearls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 163,902 pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, a video of Councillor of Pearl wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, and glamping Perilians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime is totally unknown. Purple Pearl's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pearlatheism.

Purple Pearl is ranked 222,003^rd in the world and 256^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Black Market, with 303 billion Standard Monetary Units.
