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]].

The Urce Corridor area is dominated by the city of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and its suburbs. Besides being the cathedral city of the Archduchy, it is the primary economic driver of the Archduchy and one of the world's major cultural and financial centers, and much of the Archduchy is characterized by its relationship to the city. | ||
