Places

Settlements

Vic is a municipality in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and the capital of the Osona comarca. It covers an area of 30.58 km² at an altitude of 484 m, with a population of 49,333 as of 2024 and a density of 1,613.2 inhabitants per km².^[18] Situated on the Vic Plain along the Meder River near the Sau reservoir, the city lies approximately 69 km north of Barcelona.^[19] Several communes named Vic exist in France across regions including Picardie, Midi-Pyrénées (now part of Occitanie), Lorraine, Languedoc-Roussillon, Bourgogne, Auvergne, and Aquitaine.

Other geographical or administrative divisions

Victoria, commonly abbreviated as Vic, is a state in southeastern Australia that occupies 227,600 square kilometres, making it the second-smallest state by land area after Tasmania.^[22] The state was formally separated from New South Wales on 1 July 1851, establishing it as a distinct Crown colony named after Queen Victoria, before joining the Commonwealth of Australia upon federation in 1901.^[23] Its capital and largest city is Melbourne, which houses over 75% of the state's population of 6.5 million as recorded in the 2021 census.^[24] Victoria is bordered by New South Wales to the north, South Australia to the west, and Tasmania across the Bass Strait to the south, with a diverse geography including the Great Dividing Range, coastal plains, and the Murray River forming its northern boundary.^[22] The state's administrative structure includes 79 local government areas and is divided into regions such as Barwon South West, Gippsland, Grampians, Hume, and Loddon Mallee for economic and planning purposes.^[25]

Government, law, and military

Officials and roles

A vicar, derived from the Latin vicarius meaning "deputy" or "substitute," denotes an ecclesiastical official empowered to exercise delegated authority on behalf of a superior, such as a bishop in the governance of a diocese. In the Catholic Church, a vicar general serves as the bishop's principal deputy for administrative and judicial matters across the entire diocese, possessing ordinary executive power equivalent to that of the bishop except in reserved cases.^[26] This role, mandated by canon law, ensures continuity in diocesan administration and involves oversight of clergy, parishes, and ecclesiastical tribunals. A viceroy is a high-ranking royal official appointed to rule a major dependency, colony, or province as the personal representative of the monarch, wielding viceregal authority akin to a deputy sovereign. Historically prominent in European empires, including the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain established in 1535 and the British Indian viceroyalty formalized under the Government of India Act 1858, the position combined legislative, executive, and judicial powers while remaining subordinate to the crown.^[27] Viceroys often resided in opulent palaces symbolizing imperial authority and reported directly to the sovereign or colonial secretary, with their tenure typically limited to mitigate risks of independent power consolidation. In military contexts of the British Raj, a Viceroy's Commissioned Officer (VCO) was an intermediate rank held by Indian nationals in the Indian Army from the 19th century until 1947, ranking above Indian other ranks but below British commissioned officers; these officers, such as subedar-majors, performed leadership duties in regiments while lacking full independent command authority.^[28] This structure reflected colonial hierarchies prioritizing British oversight in operational decisions.

Units, assets, or designations

Vic formation, a tactical arrangement for military aircraft consisting of three or more planes flying in a V-shape, was developed during World War I to enhance mutual protection and visibility during combat. This designation allowed lead aircraft to maintain formation while wingmen provided covering fire, and it persisted into later conflicts for reconnaissance and escort missions. In the Australian military, "VIC" designates units affiliated with the state of Victoria, such as the 8th (VIC) Battalion of the Volunteer Defence Corps during World War II, a home defence militia formation established in 1940 to supplement regular forces against potential invasion.^[29] Similarly, the Royal Victoria Regiment includes battalions like the 8th/7th, tracing lineage to colonial-era Victorian infantry units integrated into the Australian Army post-federation in 1901. The Veterans Identification Card (VIC) is a photo identification credential issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs since 2013 to honorably discharged veterans who served active duty but lack a military retiree ID, serving as proof of service for civilian discounts without conferring base access privileges.^[30] Eligibility requires verification of DD Form 214 discharge papers showing honorable service, with over 5 million cards issued by 2023 to facilitate recognition at businesses and events. In British legal nomenclature, "Vic." abbreviates statutes enacted during Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901), as in "10 & 11 Vic. c. 93" for the Summary Jurisdiction (Ireland) Act 1847, distinguishing them from later legislation for historical and interpretive purposes. This convention aids in citing pre-Edwardian laws within the UK's uncodified constitution.

Science and technology

Computing and electronics

The Commodore VIC-20 was an 8-bit home computer introduced by Commodore Business Machines in June 1980 at the Consumer Electronics Show, with retail availability in North America beginning later that year at a price of $299.95.^[31] It utilized the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1.02 MHz, 5 KB of RAM (expandable to 32 KB via cartridges), and Commodore BASIC 2.0, marking it as one of the earliest affordable color computers aimed at home users for gaming, programming, and education.^[31] The machine's video output was handled by the integrated VIC (Video Interface Chip, MOS 6560/6561), supporting 176x184 pixel resolution in 8 colors with programmable characters and limited sprites, while audio came from three square-wave channels via the MOS 6566 SID precursor chip.^[32] Production continued until 1985, with variants like the Japanese VIC-1001 and German VC-20.^[33] The VIC-II (MOS Technology 6567/6569 series for NTSC/PAL), an advanced video interface controller succeeding the original VIC, debuted in the Commodore 64 in 1982 and powered graphics in subsequent models like the C128.^[34] Fabricated on a 5-micrometer NMOS process, it generated composite video signals at 320x200 resolution with 16 fixed colors (from a 512-color RAM palette), supported 8 hardware sprites (24x21 pixels each), multicolored characters via extended attributes, and smooth scrolling in both axes.^[34] The chip interfaced directly with 64 KB DRAM for frame buffering and included a light pen port, DRAM refresh logic, and programmable DMA for sprite and border effects, enabling raster interrupts for techniques like flexible line interrupts (FLI).^[35] Variants included 8562/8564 for enhanced RGB output in later revisions, with compatibility issues noted between NTSC (6567) and PAL (6569) versions due to timing differences.^[36] VIC Computing was a short-lived British magazine (1981–1983) focused on programming, peripherals, and software for the VIC-20, published initially by Printout Publications and later by Paradox Group, with issues covering BASIC extensions, hardware expansions, and game reviews.^[37]

Other technical terms or inventions

The VIC cipher is a complex manual encryption system developed by Soviet intelligence in the early 1950s for use by spies operating without access to mechanical devices. Assigned to agent Reino Häyhänen (codename VIC), it combines a straddling checkerboard substitution (derived from the Nihilist cipher) with double columnar transposition and a derangement step to disrupt patterns, requiring a numeric key, a short phrase for the checkerboard, and a date for transposition ordering. This multi-layered structure provided high security against frequency analysis and known-plaintext attacks, making it one of the most resilient hand ciphers of the era, with an effective key space exceeding practical brute-force limits for manual cryptanalysis.^[38]^[39]^[40] The cipher's components include encoding plaintext into numeric digrams via the checkerboard, followed by two independent transpositions using a keyword-derived permutation, and final rearrangement via a disrupted columnar method to eliminate standard cribs. U.S. cryptanalysts, including those at the NSA, deciphered intercepted VIC messages after Häyhänen's 1957 defection, exploiting operator errors and recovering keys through exhaustive reconstruction of the transposition tables. Its design emphasized simplicity for field use while maximizing diffusion, influencing later studies in manual cryptography, though it relied on perfect operator discipline and one-time keys to maintain security.^[41]^[40]
