The New Potato Empire of Comfed is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Cassandra Blandina with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, disturbing lack of elderly people, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 944 million Comfedians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okatarin. The average income tax rate is 90.7%.

The Comfedian economy, worth 95.6 trillion wandas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,220 wandas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Comfedian language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comfed's national animal is the mantis shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Comfed is ranked 2,812^th in the world and 870^th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 32,421 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
