The Second Republic of Potass is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Osas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.239 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, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, 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 976 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 156,454 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 169,838th in the world and 1st in The United States of the Rim for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 58.86 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
