The Second Republic of Potass is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Osas with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.144 billion Potassians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donsmark. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Potassian economy, worth 961 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 extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,436 Big Balls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, and the government seizes all major gold finds. 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, and its national religion is Christianity.

Potass is ranked 26,304^th in the world and 1^st in The United States of the Rim for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,179.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
