The Republic of Potato Bed is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.066 billion Potato Bedians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The thriving Potato Bedian economy, worth 609 trillion yuhs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,503 yuhs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,164 per year while the poor average 12,341, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Potato Bed's national animal is the potato, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Potato Bed is ranked 248,000th in the world and 172nd in The Transitionists for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
