The Magical Kingdom of Eternal Purgatory is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yodle with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.536 billion Purgatoryians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purgatory. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Eternal Purgatoryian economy, worth a remarkable 4,132 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 235,675 Gold Bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,200,596 per year while the poor average 2,207, a ratio of 997 to 1.
Citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, it is said that an Eternal Purgatoryian woman's work is never done, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eternal Purgatory's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.
Eternal Purgatory is ranked 306,404th in the world and 269th in Disney World for Most Cultured, scoring -35 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
