The People's Republic of Poteramnsan is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by A Random Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.7 billion Poterams are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poterahacsin. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Poteramnsanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,557 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,693 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, waste collection professionals have been canned, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poteramnsan's national animal is the Mastiff, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Enforced Atheism.

Poteramnsan is ranked 328,841^st in the world and 10^th in Hellebores Commonwealth for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -15.68 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
