The Potato of Estebere is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Head Counsel River Marshele with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.438 billion Esteberians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adrad. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Esteberian economy, worth 540 trillion Silvers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,226 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on Estebere's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estebere's national animal is the Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Estebere is ranked 1,964^th in the world and 18^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 4,147.05 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
