The Potato-Praetorian of Oblitus Terras is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Phoenix Potato Regent Zealan with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.368 billion Spud Terrasians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spud Karasu-Hato City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Spud Terrasian economy, worth a remarkable 6,786 trillion Potato War Bonds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 414,646 Potato War Bonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,845,505 per year while the poor average 4,219, a ratio of 911 to 1.
Pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, Oblitus Terras isn't what it used to be, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oblitus Terras's national animal is the Potato-looking Crows and Doves, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Imperial Truth of Potatoes.
Oblitus Terras is ranked 346,333rd in the world and 127th in Spiritus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.06 average smiles per day.
