Commonism

Commonism... their island has always had something of an agricultural economy, it's monetary funds and resources depending on that of it's large potato crop. Their economy is not only based on it, it is the potato and it's guarded carefully by the farmers who produce it.
But why the potato? Well in truth the people of Commonism don't know why it's the best crop for their nation aside from the fact that it seemed to be the most common food source throughout their history. It's constant availablity has placed it among on of the most favored creatures (because the people of Commonism are none too bright) in the land. It is their food source, their currency and their national animal... and the government prefers to own it all and give it to the people as they need it.
Commonism started life out as a with a form of tribal nation which joined the "fad" of communism some time ago because they seemed to like the clothes and the attitudes... in truth they don't really know much about the real ideals of communism but they took it on because the idea of drinking lots of vodka and talking in mock Russian accents appealed to their tribal elders... perhaps it was a bad joke played by the elders who knew they would not last much longer, but ever since they have embraced the stereotype as their own.
Commonism is an odd nation on the whole... they have always been open to trading with other nations, preferably those with socailist practices but in truth socialists dislike that the Commonism isn't really too good at this whole Communism thing... their attempts to copy the world fail. However they have live on a Island which attracts the tourists because of it's shape and they are easy to screw over as their grasp of maths is poor.
One starts to wonder... just how did the people of Commonism reach the industrial age.
