The Spud of PotatoSanity is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 5.552 billion PotatoSanityians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient PotatoSanityian economy, worth 234 trillion spuds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,254 spuds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PotatoSanity's national animal is the spud bird.

PotatoSanity is ranked 179,897th in the world and 7th in The Potato Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
