The Empire of Humble Potato is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Edward Potato with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.176 billion Humble Potatoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pomme de Terre. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Humble Potatoan economy, worth 141 trillion Yukon golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,842 Yukon golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, medical lawsuits are out of control, when their backs are against the walls Humble Potatoans look out for gay men, and the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humble Potato's national animal is the Russet potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Axomamma.

Humble Potato is ranked 291,413^th in the world and 8^th in Hiding Place for Largest Black Market, with 37.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
