The Demonic potato of Esquof is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the godly potato with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.687 billion potatioans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of potato water. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The powerhouse Esquofian economy, worth 153 trillion potatoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 90,962 potatoes, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low. Crime is relatively low. Esquof's national animal is the the potato horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esquof is ranked 62,962nd in the world and 3,113th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 73.49 on the Human Development Index.
