The 🍠🍠🍠 of Potato is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.553 billion Potatoes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong a Potato economy, worth a remarkable 1,162 trillion guilders 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. 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 74,734 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, going on a diet invalidates your passport, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", and garden flower shows rarely smell of roses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potato's national animal is the man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Potato is ranked 33,846^th in the world and 1^st in Potato for Most Corrupt Governments, with 64.41 kickbacks per hour.
