The Republic of Powerd is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Vince with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.525 billion Powerdians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Powerd Underground City. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Powerdian economy, worth 93.7 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 61,465 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, theories that hold water are considered to have failed, and teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Powerd's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Powerd is ranked 285,870^th in the world and 9^th in Project for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,976.3 Standard Monetary Units.
