Kivotos (Japanese: キヴォトス) is a city state located in the South Pacific, bordering Japan and the US. It is unknown what history surrounds Kivotos, but many suspect that the city was discovered by The Philosophers before becoming an independent city state by the Patriots and eventually becoming isolated from society from risked of the nuclear superpowers obtain any of the students in Kivotos.

Kivotos is a high tech city which is home to thousands of academies with most of it is mostly urban with many highrise buildings along with a mixture of various vegetation, including arid deserts, dense forests, and cold tundra.

Most of the general population is made of animals, robots and female humans with various animalistic and mythological features. These humans have unique halos above their head to represent their abilities and personality. Despite this, adults and teachers are not as common around here as learning is conducted via Blu-Ray with in-person teaching mostly revolving guest appearances and assistant faculties. The students also carry guns and cellphones around on a daily basis, which led to some gun related crimes in the city.

Haloed civilians have incredible durability, virtually making them bulletproof, being able to take hallow point rounds while causing in minor pain, while explosives and sustained gunfire can knock them unconscious, which resulted in lower death rates compared to other cities. The only way to kill them is the destruction of the halo.

After the General Student Council President's disappearance, the city was then transformed into an anarchist society, which lead Black Tusk, the True Sons, the Legionnaries and Los Extranjeros to invade the city and have been at war over control of the city.
