Victoria (the City-State of Victoria) is a state located in Ness Snorlaxia, along the border along the country. The capital, Victoria City, is one of the largest cities in the country, with 30 million people (out of 50 million in the province).

The state was created in 1889 after the reform of subdivisions. Victoria was created out of parts of the Illiria Valley and Quadexha provinces.

Counties

Victoria is divided into three counties:

  • Victoria - consisting of Victoria city proper.
  • Borderside - consisting of the area of Victoria that is along the border.
  • Kerry - consisting of the remainder of the province.

History

The City-State of Victoria was created in 1889, after the reforms abolished the province system.

In its early years, it was led by Dranafila Bojaxhiu, the mayor of Victoria City and later Prime Minister. Under his leadership, Victoria grew rapidly, and by 1910, became one of the larger cities in the empire.

Victoria became a major manufacturing and tourist destination under Raine Lillia, Shown Ellitos, and William Runyon, when factories and tourist traps were built.

However, this growth was suddenly stopped with the Great Victoria Earthquake, which nearly destroyed the city in 1933. The chaos and panic caused widespread looting, which eventually led to the setting up of checkpoints to see if people were travelers or looters. This devestated the province as a whole, as the economy suffered and the province descended into anarchy.

The Ness Snorlaxian Armed Forces set up a provisional government at the town of New Nyasa, with Laura Smith Ellis as governor.

Under her leadership, she commited to the restoration of order and rebuilding of the province. By 1950, after the military rule, Victoria was rebuilt to its former glory and order was restored.

After the middle of the century, and especially during the 1980s, Victoria became the major technological and cultural centre of Ness Snorlaxia. Victoria also became the centre of the Alliance of 1985/Green Party, with Edi Xega Ramiz being elected governor in 1990, the first major posistion since the founding of the Green Party.

However, this period of Green leadership would not last, as the current head of the National Democratic Party, Sheena Fujibayashi, was elected in 1997. Under her leadership, greater amount of civil rights were granted to the people, as in the rest of the country, and the government was changed to represent the local level. She also created a project which would make the state more aesthetically pleasing for tourists and buisnessses, which worked.

In 2004, this government was transfered to Maria Tajonexia, as Sheena left to become the head of the National Democrats. Maria is still continuing the policies of Sheena, and most people like it that way.

Governors

Since the creation of Victoria in 1889, the mayor of the city of Victoria was the original leader of the province. However, in 1911, the posistion of Governor of Victoria was seperated from Mayor.
