Who are these people?
And he's kind of slightly appalled from them.
No, because it would be a nightmare.
It's viceroyalties, exactly.
A viceroyalty is an administrative division.
In India, you had one viceroy, but here in South America, over this enormous landmass, you have different viceroyalties.
They govern in the king's name, just as the viceroy of India did.
So you have these different places, New Granada, and that comprises modern Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama.
You have the Viceroyalty of Peru.
You have the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata, which is comprising of what we now know as Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
So this actually, this is really important because it will lead to great splits in
which somebody who wants to liberate these places from Spain's control will be able to exploit.
The reason you have different viceroyalties is because you can't govern from a center if you have so much land.
But if you have these different viceroyalties, and actually, very importantly, you're not allowed to talk to each other as viceroyalties.
You're not allowed to confer.
Everything must go back to the center, which Bolivar has already said is run by idiots.
You have this, you know, almost a competitive environment between them, but also sort of aggressively against each other.
And they also have very different concerns.
So you will have New Granada, which comprises Venezuela, which is where Bolivar is from.
It's the least developed politically, economically of the four vice royalties.
