The Free Land of Self-made Tomato Paste is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The quiet, industrious population of 717 million Tomato Pasteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pomidorilnius. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Self-made Tomato Pastean economy, worth 67.3 trillion tomatilloes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,923 tomatilloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, third world countries are rich in "I Love Pomidorilnius" t-shirts, and politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Self-made Tomato Paste's national animal is the red river hog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Self-made Tomato Paste is ranked 8,230^th in the world and 1^st in The Eastern Steppes for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.54 percentage of bribes refused.
