A viceroyalty is a political unit governed by a viceroy, who acts as the representative of a monarch in a colonial territory. This system was commonly used by European powers, particularly Spain and Portugal, during the Age of Exploration and colonization in the Americas and Asia. Viceroyalties were established to manage large territories, enforce colonial policies, and oversee administration, trade, and local governance. Examples include the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Viceroyalty of Peru.
