The Loving Couple of SweetPotato is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Willow with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.82 billion SweetPotatoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boiling Isles. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SweetPotatoan economy, worth 596 trillion snails a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,540 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Planespotters are emigrating in droves, pre-eclampsia in pregnancy is treated with encouragement to take "long soothing walks", strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, and heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SweetPotato's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
SweetPotato is ranked 213,265th in the world and 591st in Two for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,941.71 Standard Monetary Units.
