The Grand Armed Forces of Visayas-Hoseo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Godfrey Knight with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.357 billion Visayan-Hoseans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Regretia. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Visayan-Hosean economy, worth a remarkable 1,292 trillion Leis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,750 Leis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, typing Godfrey Knight's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and children play Capture the Flag and Capture the Bigtopian General Staff at summer camps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Visayas-Hoseo's national animal is the Carabao, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Junta.

Visayas-Hoseo is ranked 16,746th in the world and 1,187th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 113.58 kickbacks per hour.
