The Empire of The Potato Legion is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by King Lugh with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.663 billion Legionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potato Land. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Legionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,217 trillion Potatos 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, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,263 Potatos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Potato Legion's national animal is the Beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Potato Legion is ranked 59,028^th in the world and 1^st in Iridescent for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,932.91 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
