The Holy Delegate-State of Poderosaterra is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Hierophant II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.094 billion Poderosaterrans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xeniala. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Poderosaterran economy, worth 362 trillion Moeda Gordas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,112 Moeda Gordas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Xeniala. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poderosaterra's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sapiens Ultrasupremism.

Poderosaterra is ranked 15,271^st in the world and 6^th in Regionless for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 9,148.64 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
