The Junglist Robot Republic of Potatodom is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sub Bass Hivemind v6 with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 49.983 billion Potatodomians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jive City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Potatodomian economy, worth an astonishing 11,753 trillion potats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 235,155 potats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, outdoor parties in New Jive City are all the rave, Sub Bass Hivemind v6's personal home is one of the South Pacific's most notorious party destinations, and every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potatodom's national animal is the big fluffy cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Potatodom is ranked 477th in the world and 17th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.17 on the Human Development Index.
