Victoria, officially the City and County of Victoria, is a consolidated city-county located in Metropolitan Cascadia on the eastern third of Vancouver Island. The city has a population of 10 as of September 2025.
Victoria is the third-oldest settlement in the Pacific Northwest, only newer than Seattle and Salem. It was founded on May 1, 2022 by avte. It initially was an independent settlement, but eventually joined Nevada before the city's sale to the newly-formed Cascadia in July of that year. Under the mayoralty of EstiQT, the city quickly grew and developed to become one of the predominant cities of Cascadia's metropolitan hub on the Salish Sea, along with Seattle, Olympia, Neah Bay (now part of Olympia), and Oceanside (now Astoria).
As a result of the Cascadian government's policy towards the introduction of overclaim in late 2023, the rural areas within the boundaries of the large City of Victoria were broken apart into the towns of Campbell River, Tofino, and Nanaimo. These towns were later reincorporated into the local government of Victoria when Victoria County and the City were consolidated in September 2025 into the modern Greater Victoria.
Under the mayoralty of Moxicodone, the city saw a resurgence, with a focus on architectural design and an embrace of walkability and port-centered designs. The Victoria Clocktower is an iconic landmark of the city, visible from Vancouver, Seattle, and Olympia.
