The Allied States of Victoria Crater is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Minister of the States Jack Mc'Allister with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.45 billion Victoria Craterians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria Crater. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Victoria Craterian economy, worth 868 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 134,673 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

VC-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, group hugs break out during floor votes, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Victoria Crater's national animal is the Victoria Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Victoria Crater is ranked 6,584^th in the world and 350^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
