It sounds as if we might need to determine what kind of Viceroy the  
original respondent is asking about: the vicar-type or the quasi- 
baron type. We've had our current Viceroy and Vicereine since before  
many Kingdoms existed, and the office itself goes back to about 1970,  
I believe, and is certainly no interim measure. It's my understanding  
that the technical difference, in this setting, between our Viceroy  
and a Baron is that a baron is _given_ land by the Crown, whereas a  
Viceroy has it more on long-term loan, and holds it for the Crown,  
who remains liege-lord of the area. In practice, though, there's  
little or no difference.
