The Colony of The Victoria-Lands is a massive, safe nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, devout population of 3.107 billion Victorians 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Victorian economy, worth 176 trillion pounds 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,804 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Victoria-Lands's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Victoria-Lands is ranked 108,246th in the world and 6th in Niso for Smartest Citizens, with 34.76 quips per hour.
