The Grand Lucidarchy of Revolvisia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Johannson Ignaseous with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.869 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 87%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, citizens must pay to enjoy Revolvisia's pristine beaches, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and overweight people receive reparations checks from fast-food chains. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 11th in Melivorica and 93,954th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -232 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
