The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a former democratic sovereign nation which was once independent from Australia. It is now a forum-based micronation associated with the Micras sector.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexed Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale, reclaimed the town of Drake and renamed Bullerton to Jackway. On 22 December 2015, Summerdale rejoined the Commonwealth.<br />
<br />
===Full Exodus to Micras===<br />
On 1 January 2016, James Knight reprised his role as King, albeit with a constitutional democracy rather than an autocratic role while at the same time announcing a full exodus to Micras, becoming a forum-based micronation in the process.<br />

On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexed Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale, reclaimed the town of Drake and renamed Bullerton to Jackway. On 22 December 2015, Summerdale rejoined the Commonwealth.<br />
<br />
==Full Exodus to Micras==<br />
On 1 January 2016, James Knight reprised his role as King, albeit with a constitutional democracy rather than an autocratic role while at the same time announcing a full exodus to Micras, becoming a forum-based micronation in the process.<br />

The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a former democratic sovereign nation which was once independent from Australia. It is now a forum-based micronation associated with the Micras sector.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]].

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale, reclaimed the town of Drake and renamed Bullerton to Jackway. On 22 December 2015, Summerdale rejoined the Commonwealth.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale, reclaimed the town of Drake and renamed Bullerton to Jackway.<br />
<br />

All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale, reclaimed the town of Drake and renamed Bullerton to Jackway.<br />
<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart.

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />
<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
''Main article: [[Government of Vyktory]]''<br />
<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />
<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />
<br />

Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory.

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale and reclaimed the town of Drake.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
''Main article: [[Government of Vyktory]]''<br />
<br />
Vyktory is a representative democracy, with the 3 member House of Representatives deciding on laws, budgets and declaring the head of state and government, the [[President of Vyktory|President]], The current president is [[James-Robert Knight]].

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 26 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 26 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned". On the same day, Vyktory rescinded their claim on Summerdale.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
''Main article: [[Government of Vyktory]]''<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned".<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' was a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It was an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources considered the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It was a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' was a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It was an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources considered the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It was a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned".<br />
<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' was a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It was an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources considered the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It was a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned".<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
''Main article: [[Government of Vyktory]]''<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' was a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It was an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources considered the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It was a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned".<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy and return to Democracy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />
<br />
===Return to MicroWiki===<br />
On 8 December 2015, James Knight announced his and Vyktory's return to MicroWiki, citing the fact that "normalcy seems to have returned".<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' wass a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It was an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It was the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources considered the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It was a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
===Return to Democracy===<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel, which was rescinded an hour later. On 23 September 2015, Vyktory was dissolved and replaced with a Micras-only simulationist state.<br />

<br />
The '''Micronational Rocket League''', or MRL, is a league competition based around the PC and Playstation 4 game, Rocket League, released on PC only 3 days prior to the announcement of the intention to form the MRL. The league was founded by former teams of the [[M-League]], which had hoped to find a replacement for FIFA World prior to its shutting down by Electronic Arts in June 2015. The League debuted with 5 teams.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Micronational Rocket League can find its roots with the [[M-League]], the first inter-micronational virtual sports league to feature a number of human controlled teams from a mixture of micronations located around the world in countries such as the Untied Kingdom, Australia and Israel. However, which the M-League was popular with its competing teams and was seeking expansion in 2016 it was before the end of the Spring League that it was announced by Electronic Arts that multiple free to play games, including M-League platform FIFA World would have their servers shut down on July 14th, during what would be scheduled as the summer break for the M-League. Despite efforts by M-League teams to find a worthy alternative to FIFA World one was not found in reasonable time and the league ceased operations at the end of the 2015 Spring League.<br />
<br />
That was until July 10th that M-League founder [[Danny Clarke]] proposed and outlined Cardinal and Woking Dale support towards the recently released to PC game Rocket League. It was quickly agreed for a new league, a successor of the M-League to be founded by a majority of former M-League teams, Cardinals, Royal City, Vertigo, Vyktory Dragons and Woking Dales, as well as the support from teams both previously seeking expansion into the M-League as well as teams not involved in until the announcement of the MRL.<br />
<br />
The MRL saw a gradually increasing list of teams unassociated with the previous M-League displaying interest in joining the MRL, with Palazu FC of Nedland being the first to confirm its place in the MRL 2015/16 season, this was followed with the first confirmed Micras team, Mercury City, securing its place the following week. Palazu FC then dissolved after the dissolution of Nedland, and Cardinals N.F.C. failed to obtain a copy of the game, thus ending their involvement.<br />

<br />
The MRL has limited regulations over the broadcasting rights of member clubs and instead gives clubs unrestricted access to determine who is responsible for broadcasting matches with primarily local broadcasting services such as Dale News Agency TV and Vyktoryan Broadcasting Corporation being the largest and responsible for broadcasting over half of MRL games of their respective clubs. All clubs are allowed to broadcast their prospective live or pre-recorded and later posted perspectives online without restriction unless specified by the Board of Directors or the MRL Disciplinary and Constitutional Committee. However, the rules allowing video evidence as to what transpired within the events of an M-League or M-League Cup fixture with constitute as an equivalent amount of evidence as providing two pieces of written evidence, was abolished, resulting in all MRL members requiring to complete Match Report Forms.<br />
<br />
Home teams are given priority broadcasting rights when both teams are able to record their respective views of the fixture. However, the away team may record the fixture if the home team is unable, or unwilling, to do so.<br />
<br />
==Sponsorship==<br />
Despite being the successor of the [[M-League]], the [[Dale News Agency]] has not continued its sponsorship agreement with the MRL following the closure of the M-League earlier in the year, instead focusing on sponsoring individual teams with as many as 4 MRL teams, with 2 having received DNA Sponsorship as part of an initiative to support players looking to join the MRL without sufficient personal finances to purchase the game themselves, leaving the door open for a new title sponsor for the league.<br />

<br />
The '''Micronational Rocket League''', or MRL, is a league competition based around the PC and Playstation 4 game, Rocket League, released on PC only 3 days prior to the announcement of the intention to form the MRL. The league was founded by former teams of the [[M-League]], which had hoped to find a replacement for FIFA World prior to its shutting down by Electronic Arts in June 2015. The League debuted with 5 teams.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Micronational Rocket League can find its roots with the [[M-League]], the first inter-micronational virtual sports league to feature a number of human controlled teams from a mixture of micronations located around the world in countries such as the Untied Kingdom, Australia and Israel. However, which the M-League was popular with its competing teams and was seeking expansion in 2016 it was before the end of the Spring League that it was announced by Electronic Arts that multiple free to play games, including M-League platform FIFA World would have their servers shut down on July 14th, during what would be scheduled as the summer break for the M-League. Despite efforts by M-League teams to find a worthy alternative to FIFA World one was not found in reasonable time and the league ceased operations at the end of the 2015 Spring League.<br />
<br />
That was until July 10th that M-League founder [[Danny Clarke]] proposed and outlined Cardinal and Woking Dale support towards the recently released to PC game Rocket League. It was quickly agreed for a new league, a successor of the M-League to be founded by a majority of former M-League teams, Cardinals, Royal City, Vertigo, Vyktory Dragons and Woking Dales, as well as the support from teams both previously seeking expansion into the M-League as well as teams not involved in until the announcement of the MRL.<br />
<br />
The MRL saw a gradually increasing list of teams unassociated with the previous M-League displaying interest in joining the MRL, with Palazu FC of Nedland being the first to confirm its place in the MRL 2015/16 season, this was followed with the first confirmed Micras team, Mercury City, securing its place the following week. Palazu FC then dissolved after the dissolution of Nedland, and Cardinals N.F.C. failed to obtain a copy of the game, thus ending their involvement.<br />

<br />
The MRL has limited regulations over the broadcasting rights of member clubs and instead gives clubs unrestricted access to determine who is responsible for broadcasting matches with primarily local broadcasting services such as Dale News Agency TV and Vyktoryan Broadcasting Corporation being the largest and responsible for broadcasting over half of MRL games of their respective clubs. All clubs are allowed to broadcast their prospective live or pre-recorded and later posted perspectives online without restriction unless specified by the Board of Directors or the MRL Disciplinary and Constitutional Committee. However, the rules allowing video evidence as to what transpired within the events of an M-League or M-League Cup fixture with constitute as an equivalent amount of evidence as providing two pieces of written evidence, was abolished, resulting in all MRL members requiring to complete Match Report Forms.<br />
<br />
Home teams are given priority broadcasting rights when both teams are able to record their respective views of the fixture. However, the away team may record the fixture if the home team is unable, or unwilling, to do so.<br />
<br />
==Sponsorship==<br />
Despite being the successor of the [[M-League]], the [[Dale News Agency]] has not continued its sponsorship agreement with the MRL following the closure of the M-League earlier in the year, instead focusing on sponsoring individual teams with as many as 4 MRL teams, with 2 having received DNA Sponsorship as part of an initiative to support players looking to join the MRL without sufficient personal finances to purchase the game themselves, leaving the door open for a new title sponsor for the league.<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of both [[w:Australia|Australia]] and [[w:Israel|Israel]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It is the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It is a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
===Return to Democracy===<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
''Main article: [[Government of Vyktory]]''<br />
<br />
Vyktory is a representative democracy, with the 3 member House of Representatives deciding on laws, budgets and declaring the head of state and government, the [[President of Vyktory|President]], The current president is [[James-Robert Knight]].

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of both [[w:Australia|Australia]] and [[w:Israel|Israel]]. It is populated by 27 citizens. It is the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It is a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
===Return to Democracy===<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

<br />
The '''Commonwealth of Vyktory''' is a democratic sovereign nation which declared independence from Australia on 6 July 2014. It is an enclave and exclave of [[w:Australia|Australia]] and is populated by 27 citizens. It is the successor state to [[Edenia]]. Outside sources consider the nation to be a [[micronation]]. It is a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
===Return to Democracy===<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws. On 10 August 2015 Vyktory annexes Azure of Azure Province in Jerusalem, Israel.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />

It is a constituent member of both the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]] and the [[Nollandish Confederacy]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Vyktory is a corruption of the word victory. The name was chosen by founder [[James-Robert Knight]], as he wanted something that was close to Victoria, but Vyktorya didn't look right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pre-Commonwealth===<br />
The land on which Vyktory is based was first settled around 40 thousand years ago by the Wurundjeri aboriginal tribe, which itself was a member of the Kulin nation. In 1864, the railway from the Australian city of Melbourne to the Yarra Valley goldfields resulted in the settlement of a town, which would later be known as [[w:Healesville|Healesville]], named after the 1860-1861 premier of Victoria, Richard Heales. Over the years, Healesville grew to a tourist destination, with its local wildlife sanctuary and various bakeries and cafes as well as the general country feel.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Edenia===<br />
In mid-April 2014, [[James-Robert Knight]], a bored young teenager decided to found his own micronation, based out of his own house. He named it [[Edenia]], and declared himself its King. Over the next two months, Edenia went through bouts of activity and inactivity and due to its open citizenship policy and various mistakes made during its formation, Edenia was dissolved back into Australia in mid-June 2014.<br />
<br />
===Foundation of Vyktory===<br />
On 6 July 2014, around two weeks after the dissolution of Edenia, James-Robert decided to try his hand at running another micronation, and created a proper constitution and seceded from Australia and named his new town [[Kingstown (Vyktory)|Kingstown]]. The micronation then went into hibernation while James mustered up ideas and laws, and on 23 July 2014, Vyktory annexed a house in Badger Creek, 5 kilometers south of Kingstown, naming it [[Rockholme (Vyktory)|Rockholme]]. Also annexed on the same day was a storage shed at Healesville High School, named [[Greenville (Vyktory)|Greenville]], which was annexed as a Territory. It was on this day that Vyktory grew from having a sole citizen to 2, and on 27 July 2014, James recruited his younger brother Joshua Wilson to the nation, who founded the Freedom Party, a right-wing libertarian political party. All this time, James-Robert had been acting as caretaker president, with no-one to challenge him, as there was no House of Representatives at the time.<br />
<br />
On 29 July 2014, the [[Vyktoryan general election, 2014|2014 general election]] was held, the first in the nation's history, with the Social Democratic Party, led my James Knight, gaining 2 of the 3 seats, with the last one going to the Freedom Party. James-Robert Knight was elected president, while the vice-presidential post went to [[Stephen Rocke]].<br />
<br />
===Early Days===<br />
In the weeks following, the Commonwealth expanded, with the town of [[Joye (Vyktory)|Joye]] joining the commonwealth on 10 August 2014 and [[Drake (Vyktory)|Drake]] joining on 20 August 2014. The citizenship ballooned to 5 during this time and on 25 August 2014, Vyktory was accepted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member.<br />
<br />
On 28 August 2014, Joshua Wilson renounced his Vyktoryan citizenship and as such, left the House of Representatives without its third member. James-Robert Knight was quick to announce an internal election to promote the only other Vyktoryan interested in politics to the spot, which was Drake's [[Alyssa Cooke]]. At the same time, The [[Vyktoryan Order]] was created, allowing for citizens of Vyktory and any other recognised states to hold a rank on the chivalric order depending on their contribution to Vyktoryan society. The day after, the Town of [[Moffattville (Vyktory)|Moffattville]] was annexed.<br />
<br />
On 4 September 2014, Vyktory engaged in their first major cultural activity, creating a team in the [[M-League]] and playing their first friendly on 11 September 2014 and their first competitive match on 14 September 2014. On 15 September 2014, they were granted full member status of the Grand Unified Micronational. On 26 September 2014, Vyktory annexed [[Hodgville (Vyktory)|Hodgville]], which at 5 residents, became the nation's largest city.<br />
<br />
On 30 September 2014, Vyktory successfully claimed land on the virtual world of Micras and granted said land (Vyktoryan Micras) the status of "Virtual Dependency" which meant that it existed solely in the virtual world and was not a real claim. This meant that all Vyktoryan citizens were also citizens of the Micrasian claim, but not vice versa. On 2 October 2014, James-Robert Knight, with the approval of the House of Representatives, signed a diplomatic treaty with [[Suntrain]], thus brining the already geographically close nations closer in terms of diplomacy.<br />
<br />
On 29 October 2014, the Town of Rockholme was relocated after the residents moved house. On 13 November 2014, Single Transferable Vote was made the new electoral system of Vyktory and later that day, Moffattville voted to cede itself back to Australia. On 26 November 2014, Vyktory joined into a political union with the [[Republic of Titania]] to form the [[United Commonwealth of Vyktania]]. From then on until early January 2015, Vyktory focused more on Micras, with Vyktoryan Micras being spun off into its own nation and most of James Knight's time spent there, only coming to MicroWiki for things related to the M-League.<br />
<br />
===The Monarchy===<br />
On 6 January 2015, James Knight revoked the constitution of Vyktory and delcared himself its new King and later that day created the new constitution. On 19 January 2015, Moffattville was re-annexed into the Commonwealth. On 30 January 2015, James altered the constitution and made the title of Monarch hereditary. On 18 February 2015, after the seld-decribed failure of the Mayoral elections, James-Robert Knight drafted Vyktory's third constitution, aboloshing the Legislature and Judiciary and declearing the Monarch an autocratic ruler.<br />
<br />
On 20 February 2015, King James decided to move Vyktory to Micras entirely, but moved back on 4 March 2015 after a change of heart. On 11 April 2015, the nation was rocked by a dispute prompting the King to eject the towns of Drake, Moffattville and Hodgville out of the nation. On 30 May 2015, Vyktory annexed the town of Taylor. On 12 July 2015, Vyktory joined the [[Nollandish Confederacy]], and on 21 July 2015, Vyktory signed a mutual recognition treaty with [[Nedland]]. On 25 July 2015, the [[Empire of Joshstralia]] declared independence from Vyktory.<br />
<br />
===Return to Democracy===<br />
On 26 July 2015 Vyktory reinstated the first constitution ever created for the nation, thus restoring democracy and all previous laws.<br />
<br />
