The Civic Republic of Vistora is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Executive Rila Halicon with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 12.451 billion Vistorans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zero Sector. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vistoran economy, worth a remarkable 5,099 trillion Ciras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 409,604 Ciras, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,306,609 per year while the poor average 35,865, a ratio of 64.3 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, glamping Vistorans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vistora's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vistora is ranked 12,329^th in the world and 4^th in Rosaceae Sanguinare for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,954.09 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
