The Democratic Republic of Potatoville is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.401 billion Spuds hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potatopia. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Mashed economy, worth 302 trillion Potatoes a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,997 Potatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potatoville's national animal is the Giant European Potato Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Potatoville is ranked 160,001st in the world and 177th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Extreme, scoring 18.06 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
