The Holy Empire of Land of the Holy Potato is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pope Tato XIV with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.472 billion Holy Potatoans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potatotopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong Land of the Holy Potatoan economy, worth 231 trillion Golden Potatoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 66,644 Golden Potatoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 355,542 per year while the poor average 6,564, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, Pope Tato XIV has just been declared ruler of Land of the Holy Potato in an international press conference, carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, and The Holy Potato has been named as Land of the Holy Potato's national religion. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Land of the Holy Potato's national animal is the Potato, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is The Holy Potato.

Land of the Holy Potato is ranked 224,397^th in the world and 8,610^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
