The Powers of Modhammer is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 25.729 billion Modhammers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modhammer City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The strong Modhammer economy, worth a remarkable 1,359 trillion bans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,827 bans, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Supreme Leader Pics" has made Supreme Leader's mom a celebrity, news headlines suggest that Supreme Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Modhammer's national animal is the advarsel and its national religion is Violetism.

Modhammer is ranked 96,604^th in the world and 12^th in The Moon for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 99.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
