this discussion suffers greatly from a lack of definition in the OP of what Baesil meant by "powerful".

The Machiavelian masters prefer to work behind the scenes, and those are the ones who wield the real "power" in sandbox games . . .

. . . who knows their real identity?    

Muuuuuhahahaha...!!!

As the hooded shadowy character puts back his original edition of the Prince on the bookshelf of his luxurious wood-panelled library...

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Those individuals (leaders) who control the largest blocks of military might are the most powerful players in Illy.  The list would be pretty easy to compile.

I'd guess the list is much like:
 
1a. Player(s) who can dictate or persuade unified action for the "Coalition"
1b. Player(s) who can dictate or persuade unified action for the "Alliance" (interchangeable with 1a.)
.... ( big gap )
3x. - > 3y. Leaders of individual alliances with a military bent
 
... ( gap )
 
xyz. War hardened individual players with multiple perma sat accounts
 
... ( big gap)
 
XXXX. The rest of us . . .
