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 Archduchy is usually divided into two distinct cultural and economic areas - the Urce River Corridor and the Creagmer Coast.
