In 1671, Victoria did not join Alexandria, Santiago, and Verona in creating a loose confederation, instead opting to create its own republic. This was very short-lived due to economic instability and inability to obtain certain resources from other countries due to lack of international recognition. Thus, in 1675, Victoria joined the First Cartadanian Republic as its fourth state. | In 1671, Victoria did not join Alexandria, Santiago, and Verona in creating a loose confederation, instead opting to create its own republic.

Victoria had long been a conservative state, a characteristic that it held alone amongst the Luson states. With the incorporation of Ciudara and Salezara, the state began to shift more from an agrarian society to an industrial and suburban one. The 19th-century was marked by a population boom that saw Victoria's population increase from just over half a million to over 3 million in less than a century. Arlington, the original capital of Victoria, saw its population cross 400,000 at the end of the 1880s and was the state's largest city until the [[Second Great War]]. | ||
The first settlements and towns in southern Victoria were founded much later than those in the northern part of the state. The first permanent Cartadanian settlers arrived in the early 19th century. People came from Santiago to southern Victoria and the Taínean islands west of the Odridian peninsula to hunt for treasure from the ships that ran aground on the Venetian Reef near Carina Island. | The first settlements and towns in southern Victoria were founded much later than those in the northern part of the state.
