The Theocratic Secular State of Potatopelago is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bonjavolious VIII with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.481 billion Potatopelagoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

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 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Potatopelagic economy, worth 149 trillion Potaklans 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 significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,670 Potaklans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Bonjavolious VIII to meetings with foreign heads of state. 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 Potatologogany.

Potatopelago is ranked 166,456th in the world and 886th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,329.86 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
