The Hot Potato of PotatoFarmers is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Pikashru Nisharian with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 5.254 billion Poafmers 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiskadaha City. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Poafmersian economy, worth 522 trillion Totato golds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,431 Totato golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People say chess victor Pikashru Nisharian can kill you with mind-bullets, camera crews have accompanied conscripted dancers to film 'Marching On Ice', referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PotatoFarmers's national animal is the Pomato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Potatos.

PotatoFarmers is ranked 9,784^th in the world and 551^st in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,636.65 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
