Victoria (sometimes known as Vicky) is the second largest nation consisting of two major cities and a small village. It was started as a small colony of the XR, based over on Active Worlds, but later declared it's independence in the wake of political crisis and remained an independent city for a month before declaring itself a republic.
History
Victoria began as a small village setup for people who wanted to move over to VP, and remained as a territory under full control of the government in comparison to it's sisters whom allowed more local governance. It never became as big as it's sister communities until the city declared itself a republic months later, but did serve as an example for a partly-successful migration between two platforms. Political turmoil, hacking incidents, and fading interest forced the XR to disband as it lost most of it's government and population while the remains regrouped in Victoria.
The city was immediately faced with several options after the fall of the XR: join Palmshire, go it alone as a city, or become it's own nation. A month later, it became a nation due to not wanting to lose it's any of it's sovereignty. After it's statehood, the city began to construct Lake Victoria as well as an international transportation network connecting Vicky and the area of NCH within the kingdom. Vicky during it's time as a republic has also been it's largest period of expansion, with the formation of a port and growth around the lake and eastern regions of the area. In July 2016, the city government approved a request to create an autonomous region involving the construction of an artificial island, hereby becoming the city's first individually owned district.
The Blizzard Crisis
In August, the issue of multiple migrant communities from Active Worlds not fully integrating with the main area of Blizzard came to a head. The Victorian government issued a joint statement alongside the Lemerican Federation (and indirectly Summerville for a brief moment) within the Facebook group, protesting the current Palmshire parliament system, accusing it of not fully representing all of VP while imposing laws upon the world of Blizzard itself. After solutions were reached, drama flared again the following day until the existing parliament including Palmshire itself was dissolved by Legion, leaving Victoria, Summerville, and Lemerican the only active communities for a while until it's revival.
The governmental body of Victoria was dissolved in October under order of the High Governor in response to the fallout.
Regions
Victoria is comprised of Victoria proper, which is sandwiched between land of the Kingdom of Palmshire and consists of Metro Victoria (the city) and New Ave. Phoenix City is also apart of Victoria via it's membership within the government, consisting of the largest object yard within VP as well as a growing major metropolis thousands of miles away of the capital. Because of this, the Phoenix region is given large autonomy over it's matters and governance.
