The Autonomous People of Vitøgorüd is the first entirely communist community in the world, as well as the only nation to reach technological singularity. Vitøgorüd is a square-shaped landmass in the North Atlanic and under the official sovereignty of the nation of Callisdrun. It borders the Sovika Ice Field and the Arctic Ocean to the North; the Litenhav Sea to the North-east; the Mason Sea to the East, South, and South-east; and the Atlantic Ocean to the West and South-west. Vitøgorüd is part of the Potemkin Archipelago and is one of the largest islands in the North Atlantic, and it is currently the key destination for many immigrants fleeing Chinese oppressive from Tyrandin Korea and Japan.

The Vitøsh, as they are known, are generally an economically communist people who give what help they can to those in need around the world. They were granted their protection in 1970 when the United Nations passed Resolution No. 050-13C-44B (Cultural Protection Act) making it against international law to attack, interfere, or indirectly jeopardize the living standard and sovereignty of Vitøsh people and their community of Vitøgorüd. Since the passing of the Cultural Protection Act, individuals deemed terrorists by generally right-wing nations have fled to Vitøgorüd in order to protect themselves from the persecution by their respective governments. This is further helped by the complete lack of any extradition policy between the Vitøsh community and any other national or supranational entity.

Generally, Vitøsh foreign policy is that of openness and staunch anti-fascist and internationalist position. Due to the unique system of democracy in Vitøgorüd, the community as a whole is capable of deciding what nations, people, or organizations of community wishes to open relations with and support or condemn. This is possible through massive technological advancements since 1980 when technological singularity was reached in Vitøgorüd. Through cybernetic augmentations, direct democracy has become possible and virtually instantaneous in the Vitøsh community.

Vitøgorüd is by any standard, an industrialized, civilized, and safe nation. It currently has the highest Human Development Index in the world, and is considered by many to be the best place to raise children in the world. Tourists to Vitøgorüd regularly decide to move to the Potemkin Archipelago and stay the rest of their lives in order to live in a society where government, class, and discrimination are virtually non-existent. For this reason, the population of Vitøgorüd continues to rapidly increase from year to year. Originally housing only five million people, the main island of the Potemkin Archipelago now houses roughly twenty-million people with an annual immigration rate of three thousand a year. Due to the massive growth rate of the island, further cooperative-urbanization has been undertaken to both protect the environment and allow for more people to live on the archipelago. Currently, forty-eight percent of the main island is urbanized, ten percent for agricultural production, and the rest unpopulated or sparsely populated.
