The Potatoes of Socialist World is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.276 billion Earthlings 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, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marxgrad. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Earthling economy, worth 47.0 trillion Rick's Rolls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,658 Rick's Rolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can get away with murder these days, cars have been banned, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and Socialist World has designated Marxgrad as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist World's national animal is the Stanczyk's Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist World is ranked 257,272^nd in the world and 1,242^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
