The '''Archduchy of Urceopolis''', also legally known as the '''Lands of the Crown of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius]]''' is one of three [[Government of Urcea#Crownland|crownlands]] of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]]. It is the largest federal subdivision of Urcea in terms of population, and it contains [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], the capital city of the Apostolic Kingdom. Since the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], the Archduchy and associated Archducal title have been one of the two definitive integral parts of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Urcean Crown]], with the other being the [[Harren|Grand Duchy of Harren]]. The Archduchy is a key part of the Urcean region known as [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]]. | The '''Archduchy of Urceopolis''', also legally known as the '''Lands of the Crown of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius]]''' and commonly referred to as just '''the Archduchy''' is one of three [[Government of Urcea#Crownland|crownlands]] of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]].

The borders and extent of the Archduchy of Urceopolis have greatly changed since its creation by [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor Conchobar I]]. Organized from the lands of the [[Latin League]], the Archduchy initially stretched from the [[Urce River]] to the west to the [[Ionian Plateau|Ionians]] in the east. The [[Duchy of Transurciana]] was split from the Archduchy in the 10th century and gradually reincorporated over the next millennia. The Archduchy's land gradually "moved" westward, as the land of the former [[Creagmer republics]] were incorporated into the Archduchy as one of the Kingdom's top geopolitical priorities in the century before the [[Saint's War]]. Concurrently, Ionian territories were increasingly split off into other titles and territories. The final modern form of the Archduchy was established by the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], which centered much of the extant crownland in territories along the [[Creagmer]] and around the [[Urce River]] and lands to the west and south of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. | The borders and extent of the Archduchy of Urceopolis have greatly changed since its creation by [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor Conchobar I]].
