The Rogue Nation of North potea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.203 billion North poteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish North potean economy, worth 50.3 trillion potatocoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,811 potatocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immigrants who don't like the taste of North potean Turnip Chips are immediately deported, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, "To Hell or to Marshland" is a common settler cry directed at native Brasilistanis, and the North potean delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North potea's national animal is the potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North potea is ranked 307,205^th in the world and 3^rd in The procrastination nation for Least Corrupt Governments, with 61.68 percentage of bribes refused.
