The What are your dreams of Potato Dog

“Such a rolly polly dog”

The What are your dreams of Potato Dog is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Parry Gripp with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.281 billion Potato Dogians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Floor. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Potato Dogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,177 trillion Potatoes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 142,150 Potatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the 'Half King of Maxtopia' exhibit is the least popular amongst museum-goers, even the lowest-level cheesemongers are required to pass Potato Dogian Literature IV, and high school career advisors advise belligerent loners to consider vigilantism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potato Dog's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is music.

Potato Dog is ranked 41,692^nd in the world and 52^nd in Spiritus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,944.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
