Nova Victoria is a small, military-governed territory located opposite the coast of Ralgon's homeland. The city proper is located on a peninsula of the northern coast of Cibola. The crown dependency and the city are named after the old city, in turn named after a (fictional) queen Victoria of Batavia. The city name was kept by incoming forces who deemed the city's name poetic in the face of their recent crisis of 1685 -- also the one that led to the city's opening for (temporary) annexation.

History

The city of Nova Victoria was founded as one of the first cities of Batavian-Cibola. The city grew into the most important port city of Batavian-Cibola. Politically, the city was from time to time an independent region or part of the Grand Duchy of Nederburg. When the city became part of South Batavia, it remained the most important port for the gold trade.

The city was briefly on the map under the flag of Jingdao, until the area was abandoned. The city was briefly under the flag of Alexandria, but then disappeared from the map.

For a few years, the city was part of Arcadia as a crown dependency. The city has 24,000 inhabitants, mostly living on the coast around the harbour. The city is currently bordered by the green, but the future expectation for the "reconquista" (recapture) of Batavian-Cibola hopes to grow into the bustling city of before.

Having been occupied by the Franco-Batavian Empire through its dominion of Arcadia, the city and its environs were deserted in the wake of their respective collapse in 1685. The city was occupied in late 1686 AN by the Holy Ralgon Empire, which was growing desperate to relocate refugees in the wake of its own major crisis during the preceding year.
