The GD Corp Property of The Universal Land of Potato is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.92 billion Potatoites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reach City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Potatoite economy, worth a remarkable 3,111 trillion Potatoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 284,898 Potatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of The Universal Land of Potato, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and Potatoite police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Universal Land of Potato's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Potatoism.

The Universal Land of Potato is ranked 238th in the world and 1st in Polandball for Highest Drug Use, scoring 422.16 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
