The Feu Follet of PURPLE BIGFOOT is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Yeti Master with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.892 billion PURPLE BIGFOOTians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deep Woods. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.6%.

The strong PURPLE BIGFOOTian economy, worth 837 trillion Legends a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 70,463 Legends, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,248 per year while the poor average 14,840, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

The nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained Yeti, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PURPLE BIGFOOT's national animal is the Yeti, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Folklore.

PURPLE BIGFOOT is ranked 262,393rd in the world and 10th in The Flying Fishes Bait Shop for Safest, scoring 14.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
