The Republic of Mundus Potestatis is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Mundus Potestatisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The strong Mundus Potestatisian economy, worth 429 billion munduses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,734 munduses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mundus Potestatis's national animal is the postetaski, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mundus Potestatis is ranked 112,515^th in the world and 1^st in Mundus Potestatis for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
