Victoria

Victoria or officially addressed as 'The City of Victoria' was a city founded early in the 1.7 creative map by Avihaus (formerly known as DavidJT and David9336)

It was the first city to exist and establish the Tri-City Region in the North-East region of the 1.7 Creative Map in PCB and strictly be a Anglo-European aesthetic. It's earliest date of existence shortly before being granted Town status was May 2014.

Victoria was located at X:5090 Y:80 Z: -5605 and was neighboured by two newer cities called Sackets Harbor and Bayside.

History

Victoria's earliest dates are traced back to May 2014 when it was granted 'Town' status, receiving a warp also. It then grew into a medium-sized city. It was originally founded by Avihaus (Known as David9336 at the time) and shortly after Heavenly_Dagger who introduced a more experienced building style of building commonly seen in London which heavily influenced the city into steering towards a more 'Anglo' style as the city developed.

It was often referred to as a cultural/tourist city due to its heavily Anglo-European style of architecture and frequent use of terraces/townhouses/parades and esthetically pleasing heavy use of quartz building materials.

Geography

Districts

Victoria was composed of only two official districts including the very central 'Historic District' as it contained the founding buildings. A district of mostly large detached homes was called the 'Elmbridge District' mainly inhabited by more notable players on the server. Other districts were unnamed and were often referred to as the 'Modern/Newer Part's or the 'Outskirts' as the city continued to grow.

Architecture

Victoria was largely composed of Edwardian style buildings, Victorian style and Post-Modernist constructions towards its latter days. In its founding days there was an open building policy where players could build unsupervised if they promised to abide by building codes. However due to many instances of deviation from the strict Anglo-European theme the Victoria Council established stricter building regulations with offending buildings removed or recladded if salvageable. Newer residents would have to demonstrate building promise before being allowed to construct a home in the City of Victoria.

Demographics

The City of Victoria was governed by the Victoria Council. Numerous embassies of Victoria were located throughout PCB including it's last diplomatic mission to the City of Empire. The Victoria Council managed new buildings, the rules of the city, evicting troublesome residents and pulling down illegal buildings. The mayor and original founder of the city was Avihaus (Or known at the time as David9336)

Regional

The city also falls under the greater Tri-City Region administrative body.

Transport

Victoria had its own underground/subway train station which was originally constructed to serve other parts of the city, although it had links to Bayside and Sackets Harbors own underground stations. Although due to it's lack of use, only one track was used linking all three cities, the other 'Southern' train track had been preserved for public viewing.

Victoria was also linked to a highway system which connected the city from the North by bridge and tunnel to Sackets Harbor and other amenities, including a hospital and cathedral.
