Victoria, or officially the Republic of Victoria, was formerly a federation of six cities (styled as states) in VP and AW from 2015 until its initial dissolution in 2018. In December 2022, the Victorian national project was resurrected by The Courier under a much smaller scale limited to the core city and its surrounding associated areas.
History
The original republic was created in 2015 after declaring it's independence from the AW-based XR, a similar union of cities and worlds. The republic was the second largest nation within the VP universe, and consisted of six cities at its apex. The republic bordered the Kingdom of Palmshire, which surrounded the capital to the north and south, and extends into the Eternan snow caps. Although its capital was extremely small, it was the largest active city that was not apart of the neighboring kingdom at the time. Although nominally a federal republic, the government of Victoria had a supreme leader whom acts as head of state. The powers of the supreme leader were kept in balance due to the peerage system, in which one or two peers are chosen from the leader of the cities of Victoria, Phoenix City, New Ave, Krynn, and Cannaville. The two peers are called in to vote whether to approve or decline major decisions made by the supreme leader. Much of early Victoria's history was surrounded by if it should join the rest of the central Blizzard community by uniting with the Kingdom of Palmshire, which it ultimately did not in 2016. In July 2016, the republic admitted it's first non-VP member, which quickly moved into VP after AWTeen was locked down for building. In January 2017, land-grants were given for the creation of a new, provisional member-state of Cannaville. In November 2017, the second AW-based member, Krynn, was accepted into the republic, and remained the lone AW-based member for the remainder of the republic's duration.
In February 2018, the republic was dissolved largely in response to the aftermath of the Vinesauce stream and the initial decline of Blizzard's community as a result of community disagreements at large. Issues specific to Victoria at the time also involved builders leaving to pursue other interests. It would not be until 2022 that Victoria would once again receive serious maintenance
Members (2018 Version)
The republic had six entities within its government by 2018, three of which were based in Blizzard and one being exclusive to Alphaworld having been full states. All members of the republic enjoyed high autonomy as well as their own choice of localized government, although captaincies functioned as territories that only had representation at the pleasure of the high governor.
