The Spiders of The Purple Mage is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.257 billion Mages are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The all-consuming The Purple Mage economy, worth a remarkable 3,780 trillion Spells a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 113,661 Spells, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 612,976 per year while the poor average 10,942, a ratio of 56.0 to 1.
The army's shirt ninjas are the most feared assassins in the region, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the Spiders is believed to be extinct, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. The Purple Mage's national animal is the Spiders, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
The Purple Mage is ranked 1,297th in the world and 5th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 4,407.66384576 days.
