Iberian Viceroyalties
The vast Castilian and Portuguese territories conquered after Hernán Cortés took Tenochtitlan and Francisco Pizarro took Cajamarca require a level of royal supervision that no medieval feudal arrangement can supply. We will establish the Virreinatos (first the Viceroyalty of New Spain at Mexico City under Antonio de Mendoza, then the Viceroyalty of Peru at Lima under Blasco Núñez Vela) each headed by a viceroy holding the king's full personal authority over governance, justice, finance, and defense. The viceregal system is a model of distant administration that successfully holds together the largest contiguous empires in human history.
