The Confederation of Potpans is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.806 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 5.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Potpansian economy, worth a remarkable 2,064 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 161,215 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,274,856 per year while the poor average 4,972, a ratio of 256 to 1.
Guns don't kill people heroes do, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. 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 frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Potpans is ranked 340,421st in the world and 202nd in Declansburg for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -27.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
