The Second Republic of Potass is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Alan with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.062 billion Potassians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alania. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Potassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion Big Balls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 166,083 Big Balls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, bailiffs must face down a fusillade of depleted uranium rounds, frowning on the job is a great way to get a raise, and it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potass's national animal is the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Potass is ranked 292,835^th in the world and 4,360^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
