The Free Land of Self-made Tomato Paste is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 717 million Tomato Pasteans 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 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 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Self-made Tomato Pastean economy, worth 67.0 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 93,480 tomatilloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics. 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 11,733^rd in the world and 1^st in The Eastern Steppes for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.28 percentage of bribes refused.
