In three spatial dimensions, would it be possible to have a force that decreases with the inverse of the distance?

I know that in our universe Electromagnetism, electromagnetism and Gravitygravity decrease with the inverse of the distance squared. WouldWould it be possible though for there to be a force in another universe with three spatial dimensions that decreases with the inverse of the distance instead of with the distance? IfIf so, could such a force have an infinite range?
