The Confederal Democratic Union of Potato Gun is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nobody with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.555 billion Potato Gunners 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of nobody really knows. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Potato Gunnic economy, worth 144 trillion Pebbles 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,810 Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', vaccinations are mandatory, and theories that hold water are considered to have failed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potato Gun's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Infinitism.

Potato Gun is ranked 221,862nd in the world and 14th in Endless Highway for Largest Populations, with 1.55 billion capita.
