The Third Republic of Potass is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Alan with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.33 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 receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alania. The average income tax rate is 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Potassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,868 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 notable. Average income is an impressive 164,918 Big Balls, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, compass sales have gone south, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button. 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 104,618^th in the world and 1,601^st in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 826.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
