The Beloved Homeland of Batatoland Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Isabel Batatíla Braburgo Savoia-Habsburg with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.218 billion Batatolandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batatolína. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Batatolandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,571 trillion Xãzis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,831 Xãzis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, and there's a big brother in every prison. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Batatoland Empire's national animal is the Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Batatoland Empire is ranked 14,906^th in the world and 633^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 330.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
