“Potatoes are not the solution to our problems.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Potatopotamia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 27.619 billion Potatopotamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Public Transport, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.7%.

The strong Potatopotamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,171 trillion Fries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 42,420 Fries, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, extreme political groups are outlawed, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potatopotamia's national animal is the Mr Potato Head, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Potatopotamia is ranked 249,615^th in the world and 10^th in Idaho for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.16 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
