The District of Potsdam-Mittelmark is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.759 billion Potsdam-Mittelmarkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Potsdam-Mittelmarkian economy, worth 51.7 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,370 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension, only those who apply can study applied maths, and a major religion has been named as Potsdam-Mittelmark's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potsdam-Mittelmark's national animal is the Germany, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Potsdam-Mittelmark is ranked 213,169^th in the world and 10^th in Brandenburg for Largest Populations, with 1.76 billion capita.
