The Republic of Visorax IV is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.737 billion citizens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.

The Visorax IV economy, worth 437 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,495 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and toddler groups have taken over local libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Visorax IV's national animal is the robot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Visorax IV is ranked 109,871st in the world and 2,132nd in Suspicious for Most Beautiful Environments, with 552.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
