'Power Points' were points automatically generated by each and every state in versions 1.0 and 1.1, similar to how pops generate Research Points and money. Power Points were spent by states to obtain variable things. This mechanic is no longer in the game as of version 1.2.
States differ regarding their Type of Government (republic-type, monarchy-type or tribal-type), their rank (Migrant Horde, City State, Local Power, Regional Power, Major Power or Great Power), the concrete cities they rule over on the map and the amount of pops. Consult the list of Countries to see all available states at game start.
