New Victoria (Fallout Alternate History)

The Kingdom of New Victoria is a monarchy based on Vancouver Island formed from the collapse of the post-war Vancouver Island Provisional Government and the establishment of a monarchy under King James IV.

The New California Republic (NCR) is a federal presidential republic founded in New California, comprised of five contiguous states and additional territorial holdings in Nevada and Baja California.[5]

The NCR emphasizes and strives to support a myriad of old world values, such as democracy, personal liberty, and the rule of law. It also aims to restore general order to the wasteland, the improvement and development of infrastructure and economic systems, and overarching peace between people.[6] Similar to institutions of the old world it seeks to emulate, continued expansion has created challenges with territorial control, loyalty, and corruption that plague the Republic and serve to hinder its goals.

Government and politics
New Victoria is a decentralized unitary state under an absolute monarchy. The country is ruled by descendants of James IV (born Louis Thomas Sinclair), who stylize themselves as the Most Holy House of Victoria, with the current monarch (as of 2350) being King Lucas. He rules over 16 counties, 7 autonomous territories, and one Royal District. There is no proper constitution but Victorian Law broadly defines the monarch's responsibilities and the rights of citizens. The monarch "rules by Divine Right provided they do so in accordance with the teachings of, and remain in a state of grace with, the One True Church."

Territory
New Victoria claims sovereignty over the entirety of Vancouver Island with varying degrees of rule. Although it is officially a unitary state that can bind and loose central authority at will, it is actually quite decentralized and the northern settlements exist in various autonomous regions where they largely rule themselves save for paying a small tax to Windsor for defence and taking an oath of loyalty to the Monarch.

The capital of New Victoria is the St. Mary's Royal District, which cover some square kilometres around Windsor Palace (the old legislative building) in central Victoria.

Religion
New Victoria is one of the few places in North America where proper religious hierarchy survived the Great War.
