The Holy Delegate-State of Poderosaterra is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hierophant II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.486 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 66.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Poderosaterran economy, worth 499 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 143,282 Moeda Gordas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,413 per year while the poor average 35,800, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

The government has awarded itself a month-long holiday to celebrate its achievements, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, trouble-makers are frequently turned in to the government to be 'recycled', and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. 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 29,055th in the world and 8th in Regionless for Highest Average Incomes, with 143,282.96 Standard Monetary Units.
