The Evil Raider of Visorax is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Visoraxus Holoratus Starkiller with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.04 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visograd. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Visorax economy, worth a remarkable 1,725 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 101,273 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Visorax's national animal is the robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Visorax is ranked 282,915th in the world and 178th in Darkest Skies for Most Cultured, scoring 55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
