'''Ovalutia''' is a [[Imperial Province|Province]] of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]] located on [[Caphiria]]'s southern half of the island [[Urlazio]]. Ovalutia shares borders with the provinces of [[Caenna]] to its west, [[Salbis]] to its east, [[Luria]] and Netharra to its north, and the Urlazian Sea to its south. With a population of only 2.3 million, it is the 3rd-smallest province in the Imperium. The capital of Ovalutia is [[Castra Vetera]], which is situated on the Sybaesa Port, one of the primary ports for the Imperial Navy. Due to its mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities, Ovalutia has a status as a tourist destination and recreation centre for the rich. Ovalutia is known for its coastal resorts such as the [[Viridian Hotel]] in Daytona, the [[Occidentis Resonare]] (Western Echo Resort & Spa) in Castra Osaniovo, and the exclusive [[Nova Resort]] in Aldorrolan.{{Infobox settlement
The Vicariates of Fhainnlannachaeran were administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Fhainnlannachaeran (modern [[Faneria]]), based largely on the old borders of the princedoms and free cities of pre-Royal Fhainnin homelands. Each was ruled by a Vicar; nominally a prince within his own lands, each reported to the King with various levels of loyalty depending on time, distance, and the individual kings and Vicars as well as local political considerations. The power of the Vicariates waxed and waned dramatically over the course of their existences, and several were folded into each other or created from whole cloth over the centuries.

The Vicariates were generally organized based on the existing Fhainnin feudal system. Local mayors and lords (''Méarann'' and ''Tihernann'') ruled as vassals under regional lords (''Ardtihernann''), the greatest of which claimed the title of ''Prionsa Dòchas'', or 'Aspiring Prince'. This later became shortened to just ''Dòchas''. Among these princes, the greatest were recognized as electors following the establishment of the monarchy, with the status of elector at first being tied to their respective titles. A Vicar was a prince with recognized elector status; as a result, their titles carried great power, and were coveted as rewards for expansion of the kindgom, suppression of major rebellions, and other great services. Each Vicariate's respective Prince or Lord gained the additional title of Vicar. All of these responded to the King or Queen (''Rih'' and ''Banrih'' respectively), but had their own rights and freedoms. Although some polities were recognized as being Duchies in the southern Levantine fashion, they functionally remained identical to Vicariates and are collectively included in the classification.

After the Second Princes' War, Vicarial status became a title conferred on a personal basis, as the new dynasty clamped down heavily on the independence of its feudal lords. This, along with other reforms, slowly drove the aristocratic class into the business sphere rather than the military-political one, though nobility retained privileges in the military and remained powerful political players, albeit subject to the Crown in both name and practice.

==Vicarial Powers==
| subdivision_type        = Country
Prior to Second Prince's War: levy taxes, knight people, elect the king, effectively had power to make laws, could judge cases unilaterally (check how this ties with the election of Barheln, Wydd-Martainns, and then Suthar-Martainns, the last of which defeated the elected antiking); essentially feudal elector vassals, with the capital vicariate being the King's direct property and usually run by an appointed Vicar-Regent
| subdivision_name        = [[Caphiria]]
 
| subdivision_type1      = Regions
After Second War: lost rights to levy taxes directly, collected still until 1870 with centralized mint and bank; *effectively* became rubber stamp for kingly succession, could originally still judge cases unilaterally but later were restricted to overseeing civil disputes with a few checks; lost the power to raise their own vassal armies, had to get king to rubber-stamp appointment of their immediate vassal lords
| subdivision_name1      =
 
| subdivision_type2      = Cities
Vicariates were the primary administrative division, with Vicar-Princes ruling over lands directly or through minor Counties. Some cities were declared 'crown cities', or essentially directly ruled by the Crown; however, this was usually only achieved after a coup against the local lord or with the support of other local nobility. Over the course of the Royal era, most Vicariates became powerful fiefs in their own right, racing to centralize power in the hands of the Vicar before the Crown grabbed up too much of their historic lands directly.

==Notable Vicars==
=History=
===Foundation===
===First Princes' War===
Main Article: [[First Prince's War]]
 
1519-1545: First Princes' War: vicars end up victorious after a few kings (Caerls Màrtainn, Bronwyn Màrtainn, Rhys Wydd-Màrtainn) worth of fighting, and for their victory they end up with the authority to elect the King similar to the HLE's collegial electorate
 
the king who lost the war though continues on until 1557 and then he dies and his son presses hereditary claim, and while the vicars do elect him they say "shit let's not make a habit of this"
he reigns and the same thing happens on his (Cledwyn Wydd-Màrtainn) death maybe 1570 or so
except the vicars refuse and the second vicarial(?) war begins
===Second Prince's War===
Main Article: [[Second Prince's War]]
 
1571-1583: Second Prince's War:  this second one is very bloody and just an overall mess, whole dynastic noble local families are wiped out, at least one king (Conan Wydd-Màrtainn, Ruaridh Sutharlan, Banrih (Queen) Cailean Suthar-Màrtainn) of fhanrrenenoit4hlwtf is killed in battle; it ends in a brokered peace; the king's election will continue, but the vicars will also be elected by local nobles, and since so many local families died, the right to appoint new local nobility reverts to the King (Donan Sutharlan-Màrtainn), who begins to solely grant lifetime peerages, i.e., no hereditary succession for the local holdings. typically he will continue to appoint from one family, but they now remain local to the crown - while the king could appoint hereditary nobility, none do because that's a stupid move, and so the local nobles (appointed by the king) begin electing as vicar basically anyone the king wants to keep their power in the family - this allows titles to be sold by the crown, too
===Royal Era Proper===
this system continues until the 1690s when the kings (Sean Suthar-Màrtainn) begin to realize hey, we can just buy off the still remaining hereditary local lords
 
 
External conflicts and relative stability here
 
 
by 1760 or so something like, i don't know,  87% of eligible nobility voting for the vicar have been appointed by the king (Cywir Suthar-Màrtainn). so what you have in place is kind of a centralist monarchy with a nominal election system that is really just trading favors with prominent families
 
so the Vicariate, once a powerful institution, is basically a succession rubber stamp by that 1760 date - essentially reduced from local princes to appointed governors
 
This is all about on track with what I'm thinking, as by 1775 there should be no more direct ties between officers and their noble status, at least in terms of laws banning commoners or reserving positions. in practice most officers will still be educated nobles
 
 
in the 1850s or so there should be a pretty large reform movement saying yes, the monarchy is great, but we should expand who can vote for the vicar besides local royal appointees - every property owning male, perhaps. which obviously every royalist says no to, but this idea of a "Liberal Vicariate" basically becomes a major political fixation and for a couple years it's "yes, but what if the vicariate also had power to do X", "yes, but what if they could also do Y, have oversight of Z, etc" - The main rub being nobody could agree on exactly how to work out what the vicars or a theoretical representative government (at the time still a fringe movement) would work in particular, as you'd have constitutional monarchists mixing with radicals and even a few revanchist wanting the old vicar's crown electorate back, but the liberal vicariate idea remains the "respectable" liberal opposition idea
 
 
the 1860s and 70s saw a dramatic rise in lower class and middle class movements. i don't know if you're familiar with how the french revolution went down ca 1787/1788, but convening the estates general was viewed as a panacea, a solution to all problems, but consequently meant different things to different people
 
As you'd have constitutional monarchists mixing with radicals and even a few revanchist wanting the old vicar's crown electorate back. here the liberal vicariate is that idea, and a lot of self interested rich locals could say "what if we just made it like how it was in the 1500s"
 
 
===Fhainnin Civil War and End of the Vicariates===
1906, one of the reformist factions finally managed to blow up the king (Ruaridh Sutharlan) and a couple key throne supporters at once, which kicked off a civil war between socialist, monarchist, and republican factions
 
with the republicans and socialist allying and said socialists immediately getting shanked in the back
 
 
maybe the direct reason for the bombing of the king in 1906 is
 
after a year and a half of major tumult, riots, etc, he finally decides to concede but only on the original point of landed male suffrage for the vicars
 
and when the vicars get together and say "we would like to also have authority over X, Y, and Z"
 
he says no
 
which is the breaking point for most radicals
