DFT without atoms

Is it possible to run VASP without atoms, i.e. have it just spit out the parametrization of the homogeneous electron gas? If so, can it do this with Fermi-Dirac smearing? Thanks.

Please take a look at this thread, for example. It seems like there is a special POTCAR that allows you to perform such type of calculations.
