The Holy Delegate-State of Poderosaterra is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hierophant II with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.526 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xeniala. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Poderosaterran economy, worth 507 trillion Moeda Gordas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,009 Moeda Gordas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 466,924 per year while the poor average 33,514, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, citizens are forbidden from leaving the country, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. 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 282,749th in the world and 24th in Regionless for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 324.04 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
