The Potato of Estebere is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Head Counsel River Marshele with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.466 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 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Esteberian economy, worth 542 trillion Silvers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,472 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. 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 1,669^th in the world and 17^th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 151.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
