The Commonwealth of The Potatonic Order is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Caeta with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.314 billion Potatons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tatoria. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Potatonic economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion Taters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,053 Taters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", the only issue that Lady Caeta has is that there aren't enough issues (The Potatonic Order has found 1 easter egg), it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories. Crime is totally unknown. The Potatonic Order's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meianism.

The Potatonic Order is ranked 36,662nd in the world and 31st in Spiritus for Most Stationary, with 1,240.48262970172 days.
