Victores officially the Great Socialist State of Victores also known by its native name Selestw is the largest country on the continent of Aridia. With a population of more than 100 million it contains more than two-thirds of the Aridian population and at almost 2 million square kilometers also covers the greatest area. Victores is governed as a semi-direct multi-party democratic republic run along socialist principles. The country consists of 30 circuits, three autonomous regions, and one special condominium shared with Xewthosha. The country spans a vast geographic domain from the sub-Antarctic to the equator and borders almost every other country in Aridia.
Aridia, and Victores in particular were the site of one of the world's first civilizations. Originating in what is now the province of Selestw, the Victoresian people originated as a collection of small tribal civilizations. They gradually unified into the Victoresian Empire under the Avari dynasty in the 10th century BCE, branches of which continued to rule Victores until 1947. The highly centralized empire shifted between periods of unity and civil war throughout the first millennium CE before rising to unify the whole continent by the 12th century. As it grew, the Victoresian fell under the influence of the nations of East and Southeast Asia, adopting much of their technology. The Victoresian Empire was an extremely advanced civilization, independently developing various technologies such as writing, blast furnaces, steel production, the windmill, and movable type printing. The Victoresian Empire began to weaken by the 17th and 18th century against increasingly more advanced European civilizations. It was finally destroyed by the Furby Island after a war in 1869 and imploded into a massive civil war. The fragile 2nd Victoresian Empire entered the First World War on the side of the Central Powers, resulting in being converted into a European mandate. Victores only regained independence in the aftermath of the Second World War with the success of the Victoresian Revolution and the foundation of the Socialist State of Victores. This would lead into the Great Aridian War or Aridian War of Independence that defined modern Aridian and Victoresian History against the ????(Yet Un-named Country). A revolution in 1994 brought to power the new democratic government of Victores that stands today.
The Victoresian economy is run under the principles of socialism, specifically self-management. After the 1994 revolution, the system of centralized planning was largely thrown out and replaced with a weaker system of indicative planning. With these reforms, the Victoresian economy experienced very rapid growth throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, however growth stagnated due to an economic crisis in 2009 that led to protests and the dissolution of the government. Victores has since recovered and continues to grow at a steady pace, it currently stands as one of the world's largest economies. Victores ranks well in HDI, life expectancy, and education, despite this the average income in Victores lags behind many Western countries. Victores is possibly a nuclear armed country, while the government claims to have advanced nuclear capabilities, they may be more limited than claimed. The Victoresian army is a volunteer force of just under a million personal that is currently involved in small-scale conflicts across Aridia. Victores has pursued trade agreements with many countries and is a member of the United Nations as well as the Commonwealth of Free Nations
