The Goddess Violet's Theocracy of Violetism is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lady Virginia Lightƿalker I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 16.685 billion Violetiſts are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Violetātſanium. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Violetiſt economy, worth 723 trillion v̱iolettors a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 43,344 v̱iolettors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, and adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violetism's national animal is the meſmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetiſm.

Violetism is ranked 267,820th in the world and 7th in Nesapo for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,142.56 Standard Monetary Units.
