The Third Republic of Potass is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Alan with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.422 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, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, 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 80.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Potassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,898 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 166,180 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 124,633^rd in the world and 2,015^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,388.52 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
