The Grand Lucidarchy of Revolvisia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Johannson Ignaseous with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.496 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krystania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Revolvisia's national animal is the Forum Lurker, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Discoverism, and its currency is the Post.

Revolvisia is ranked 5th in Melivorica and 4,210th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
