Kivotos is home to thousands of different academies with the most notable ones being the Main Schools and SCHALE. Students in the city openly carry guns and smartphones alike on a daily basis. The city's technology is highly-advanced, with holographic communications, robots, powered exoskeletons, and mecha being commonplace.

Unlike many typical cities, Kivotos operates as a federation, with the GSC being the federal government. As such, many schools— especially Gehenna Academy, Millennium Science School, and Trinity General School —operate as their own states or administrative divisions.

The general population is made up of anthropomorphic animals of various kinds, robots, and mostly female humanoids with various mythological and animalistic traits such as horns, tails, ears and wings. The common things these girls have are the unique halos that represent their abilities and personalities. The humanoid girls are the main focus of the story.

Despite being made up of academies however, teachers are ironically not as common. Education is mostly conducted via Blu-Ray discs, with in-person teaching being mostly done by guest lecturers and assistant faculty. Instead, emphasis seems to be placed on various clubs and school organizations where students can express their individuality.

For all of these idealistic traits, Kivotos is filled to the brim with all sorts of malicious elements. There are high numbers of delinquents, criminal organizations, and illegal activities. There is an entire district saved for the Black Market. Gun violence is also a regular occurrence.

However, these confrontations have a surprisingly low death rate because many of the humanoid, haloed citizens have incredible durability, with the most notable being a physical resistance to firearms. Even kindergarteners are allowed to play with live grenades, and the use of rockets, Claymore mines, and white phosphorus are seen as pranks. Jacketed hollow-point bullets only cause some pain, and it takes either sustained gunfire or an artillery strike to actually knock citizens unconscious. The quickest way to kill them is to destroy the halos, usually by over stressing how much protection a halo can withstand, though long term poor health, starvation, and other semi-organic natural causes could also cause death.

According to the Bond story of Sunaookami Shiroko (Riding ver.), Kivotos is implied to be approximately the size of the United States and Canada from our world combined.
