The Potato of Estebere is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Head Counsel River Marshele with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.379 billion Esteberians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adrad. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Esteberian economy, worth 529 trillion Silvers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,729 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and there is a dearth of space for new houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estebere's national animal is the Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Estebere is ranked 285,139^th in the world and 347^th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
