The Allied States of Victoria Crater is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Minister Of the States Jack Mc'Allister with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.379 billion Victoria Craterians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primum Vallis. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Victoria Craterian economy, worth 309 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,949 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. 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 Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Victoria Crater is ranked 68,221^st in the world and 3,547^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 51.73 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
