The '''Viceroyalty of Los Rumas''' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Virreinato de los Rumas'') was a {{wp|Self-governance|self-governing}} entity located in [[Vallos]]. It was established in 1497 by [[Isurians|Isurian]] Captain [[Mauricio Delepas]] on behalf of [[Jeronimo I of Pelaxia|King Jeronimo I]] of [[Kingdom of Pelaxia|Pelaxia]] as part of the nascent kingdom's [[Pelaxian colonization of Vallos|colonisation of the subcontinent]]. Initially, it was an outpost located in what is now the city of [[Los Rumas]], the viceroyalty would quickly expand as further exploration into Vallos to the point that it encompassed not just the majority of modern-day [[Castadilla]], but also the entirety of modern-day [[Vallejar]] as the strategic and economic importance of the viceroy became apparent in the name of securing the [[Southern Route]] to [[Audonia]].

Due to the sheer size of the viceroyalty, there existed a regional division amongst the colonists. In coastal areas, which were closer to the Pelaxian metropole, the colonists were generally of Pelaxian, pure Latinic, and Isurian ancestry and were often heavily-favoured by the viceregal government. This was in contrast to the inland regions in which colonists often co-existed with and married into indigenous, Tainean, and mixed-race Latinic families which in turn led to the inland colonists being seen as a sort of unofficial "{{wp|second-class citizen|second class}}" amongst the colonists due to their distance from the capital, their lower economic status compared to coastal colonists, and their penchant for intermarriage with non-Occidental groups. Nonetheless, many inland colonists were able to secure a steady living off of agriculture and land-based navigation as indigenous groups eventually disappeared due to intermarriage and gradual assimilation.

The colonial status quo was shaken heavily during the latter years of the 18th Century as the fall of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] and the Kilikas Englightenment happened at roughly the same time. The loss of [[Cartadania]] and the rise in a new national identity distinct from the long-held perception that all colonists were Pelaxian subjects. The first fall of the Pelaxian monarchy in 1804 had allowed for said new national identity, which by then had been named [[Delepasianism]] and was opposed to the long-standing rivalry between coastal and inland colonists, to flourish as the new elite in Vallos sought political representation as Pelaxian citizens. Even when the [[First Pelaxian Republic]] collapsed in 1814 and the monarchical system was restored, the nascent Delepasian identity continued to become more and more popular amongst the colonists. It was to the point that by the 1840s there were calls for the Pelaxian crown to create a separate Delepasian kingdom which would be in a {{wp|real union}} with the Pelaxian metropole. A series of political crises in Pelaxia would eventually see the abolition of the monarchy and the end of the viceroyalty in 1852, with many prominent monarchists fleeing to the former viceroyalty to set up a {{wp|government-in-exile}} known as the [[Delepasian Kingdom]].
