The Potato-Praetorian of Oblitus Terras is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Phoenix Potato Regent Zealan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.259 billion Spud Terrasians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spud Karasu-Hato City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Spud Terrasian economy, worth a remarkable 6,513 trillion Potato War Bonds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 400,595 Potato War Bonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,715,195 per year while the poor average 4,076, a ratio of 911 to 1.

Begun the Clone Wars have, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, Oblitus Terras is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oblitus Terras's national animal is the Potato-looking Crows and Doves, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Imperial Truth of Potatoes.

Oblitus Terras is ranked 3,303^rd in the world and 6^th in Spiritus for Largest Governments, scoring 48.62 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
