The Confederation of Potpans is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.491 billion Potpansians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Potpansian economy, worth a remarkable 1,974 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 158,066 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,149,418 per year while the poor average 6,815, a ratio of 168 to 1.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Potpans's national animal is the Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Potpans is ranked 234,022^nd in the world and 152^nd in Declansburg for Most Extreme, scoring 12.12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
