The Northern Potato Republic of Potatopelago is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bonjavolious VIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.097 billion Potatopelagoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ventspils. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Potatopelagic economy, worth 104 trillion Paktontas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,677 Paktontas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and Bonjavolious VIII is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown. Potatopelago's national animal is the Potato Partridge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Potatologagany.

Potatopelago is ranked 5,762^nd in the world and 106^th in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,374.41 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
