The Rogue Nation of North potea is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.116 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 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish North potean economy, worth 44.8 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 slick, highly efficient 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 40,176 potatocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is the self-declared God of all North potea, guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in North potea, young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute, and carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population. 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 186,382nd in the world and 4th in The procrastination nation for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 234.43 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
