The Holy Delegate-State of Poderosaterra is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Hierophant II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.616 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 525 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 145,343 Moeda Gordas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 455,788 per year while the poor average 35,512, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Unpopular politicians are often caught between a rock and a hard place, the government seizes all major gold finds, foreign invaders are putting Poderosaterran lab rats out of a job, and women who display their ankles are shunned by society. 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 13,610th in the world and 3rd in Regionless for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 9,163.27 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
