The Empire of Humble Potato is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Edward Potato with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.201 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 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Humble Potatoan economy, worth 144 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 65,538 Yukon golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Humble Potatoan diplomacy is by the book, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and King Edward Potato's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. 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 30,701st in the world and 2nd in Hiding Place for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,362.59 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
