One sunny day at the World Meeting, Prussia passed out potatoes:

"Here's a potato. Here's a potato. Here's a potato."

"I don't want your goddamn potatoes!"

A TV ad proposal to stimulate growth in the potato subsector of agricultural commerce:

(a comforting female voice)

When life gives you potatoes, make potato salad.

"I DON'T WANT POTATO SALAD!"

Youtube:

When life gives you potatoes, don't make potato salad - make life take the potatoes back! Get mad! I don't want your damn potatoes, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Romano potatoes. Do you know who I am? I'm the Nation who's gonna burn your house down! With the potatoes. I'm going to get my Mafia to invent a combustible potato that burns your house down!

(a breath)

"Why did you pass out potatoes!"

"…'cause I felt like it."

…and that's why Prussia is banned from World Meetings and Veneziano represents Italy instead.
