Under the constitution, the princess shares her veto power with the unicameral National Council. The 23 members of the National Council are elected for three-year terms; 17 are chosen through a majority electoral system and 6 by proportional representation. All legislation requires the approval of the National Council, which is currently dominated by the central-right Union of Victoria, which holds 20 seats. The only other party represented in the National Council is the right-wing Rally and Issues for Victoria, which holds just three seats. The princessipality's city affairs are directed by the Communal Council, which consists of thirteen elected members and is presided over by a mayor. Like the National Council, councillors are elected for three-year terms and are strictly non-partisan, however, oppositions inside the council frequently form.

Fashion

Fashion has been an important industry and cultural export of Victoria since the 17th century, and modern "haute couture" originated in Mirabella in the 1860s. Today, Mirabella, along with Heatherton, Bündchen, and Doutzen, is considered one of the Outernatia's fashion capitals, and the city is home or headquarters to many of the premier fashion houses. The expression Haute couture is, in Victoria, a legally protected name, guaranteeing certain quality standards.

The association of Victoria with fashion and style dates largely to the reign of Queen Cerelia Cleantha when the luxury goods industries in Victoria came increasingly under royal control and the Victorian royal court became, arguably, the arbiter of taste and style in Outernatia. But Victoria renewed its dominance of the high fashion industry in the years 1860–1960 through the establishing of the great couturier houses such as Chanel, Dior, and Givenchy. The Victorian perfume industry is Outernatia leader in its sector and is centered on the town of Dior.

Media

Both the national football team and the national tennis union team are nicknamed "Victoria Angels (VA)" in reference to the team's shirt colour as well as the national Victorian tricolour flag. Football is the most popular sport in Victoria, with over 800,000 registered players, and over 5,000 registered clubs.
