The Holy Armed Empire of Kartoffelspan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by He Who Knows Gooder Than You with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.811 billion Kartoffelspanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kartoffeln City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kartoffelspanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,535 trillion Corn Husks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,015 Corn Husks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and the media seems excessively interested in what He Who Knows Gooder Than You is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kartoffelspan's national animal is the Llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
