The Third Republic of Potass is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Alan with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.517 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, 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 80.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Potassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,909 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. Average income is an impressive 165,798 Big Balls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Compass sales have gone south, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, and colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper. 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 34,078^th in the world and 796^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 71,030.16 Standard Monetary Units.
