The Theocracy of Potatopelago is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 279 million Potatopelagoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ventspils. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Potatopelagic economy, worth 18.6 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 major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,815 Paktontas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Potatopelago's national animal is the Potato Partridge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Potatopelago is ranked 281,539^th in the world and 1,324^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.5 flags saluted per person per day.
