The Democratic People's Republic of PotatoFarmers is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pikashru Nakisan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.579 billion Poafmersians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiskadaha. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Poafmerian economy, worth 252 trillion Totatoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,951 Totatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, billions of Totatoes are being poured into a space program, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and the PotatoFarmers Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. 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 Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PotatoFarmers is ranked 11,294^th in the world and 606^th in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 90.95 Years.
