A title of a document from a large power generator manufacturer. I am looking for a nifty way of conveying the wordplay on "power" in German.

a world of power
Weltweite Power


Explanation:
Depends a bit on, whom they're actually addressing as this is quite colloquial.

First idea was "Welt unter Strom" but that's a bit too ambigious (as "unter Strom stehen" being drunk).

Or, referring back to my answer to your other question, "Eine Power-Welt" or "Eine Welt voller Power" (with my sincere apologies and thanks to Brie for nicking her suggestion and tweaking it a bit).

Sorry, just realized that I suggested your own initial idea - I think I really should call it a day ;-)

What about: "Eine Welt mit Power" (now my apologies and thanks to Sabine; and yes, I really am on my way out of here now) ;-)
