The Loving Couple of SweetPotato is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Willow with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.705 billion SweetPotatoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boiling Isles. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SweetPotatoan economy, worth 989 trillion snails 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 Tourism, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an impressive 101,995 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious education is a new government priority, the army consists of only generals and grunts, a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused, and the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SweetPotato's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

SweetPotato is ranked 24,898^th in the world and 1^st in Two for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,952.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
