The Kari of Potchen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kari Mantag with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 31.515 billion Potchenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarant. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The Potchenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,579 trillion Dragons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 145,318 Dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, out-of-work soldiers and bureaucrats can often be found camped out in front of manservant academies, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, and military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Potchen's national animal is the Bathu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Potchen is ranked 15,318th in the world and 14th in Caer Sidi for Most Secular, with 81.69 Atheism Rate.
