The Prefecture of Murasaki is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Governess Princess Tomiko Kuribayashi with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 9.071 billion Murasakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shishina. The average income tax rate is 23.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Murasakian economy, worth 543 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,954 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, and journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Murasaki's national animal is the tako, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Shintō.

Murasaki is ranked 92,334^th in the world and 28^th in Japan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
