The Theocracy of Potatopelago is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 138 million Potatopelagoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Potatopelagoan economy, worth 9.27 trillion Paktontas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,207 Paktontas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, and the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potatopelago's national animal is the Potato Partridge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Potatopelago is ranked 65,547^th in the world and 679^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
