The Librarian Community of Purple gold is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Bob Kerman with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.329 billion Purpolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wooper pond city. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purpoli economy, worth 878 trillion Purpons 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 164,876 Purpons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents. Crime is totally unknown. Purple gold's national animal is the Golden Armordillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarian.

Purple gold is ranked 302,791st in the world and 192nd in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
