The Commonwealth of The Potatoe Islands is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Great Potatoe Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3 billion PotatoeBeings 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potatoe Fields City. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Potatoe Islandsian economy, worth 311 trillion Potatoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,986 Potatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Potatoe Islands's national animal is the Potatoe Being, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Potatoism.

The Potatoe Islands is ranked 39,872nd in the world and 1,832nd in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 79.73 on the Human Development Index.
