The Colored Pages of PR Comic Books is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Drakkon with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.819 billion Rangers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angel Grove. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Power Ranger economy, worth a remarkable 1,706 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,461 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in PR Comic Books. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PR Comic Books's national animal is the zord, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

PR Comic Books is ranked 23,958th in the world and 5th in Temporary Home for Most Stationary, with 1,482.2701277354 days.
