=== Free Cities ===
=== Free Cities ===
The Free Cities, formally known as the Federated Cities Administration, are a series of city states which were members of the Northern Confederation sitting on the border between [[Algoquona]] and Cheektowaga. The population of the Free Cities is approximately three quarters of a million people. These cities largely act autonomously of eachother and are self-governing. The Free Cities area is overseen by a Legate who serves a two year term, beginning with he first election in 2030. The Legate is elected by the mayors and chiefs of the various cities and has limited power. The primary responsibility of the Legate is to ensure fair trade relations between the cities and to raise the requisite number of soldiers from the cities according to the manpower needs of the Kingdom’s defenses. The Legate also commands the unified militias of the cities in time of war, being the primary individual responsible for defense of the border with Algoquona, aiming to slow Algoquona’s advance until the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] arrives.

Like the Free Cities, the Free Tribes, formally known as the Federated Tribal Administration, are a number of small and primarily autonomous tribal groups who previously served as members of the Northern Confederation. Their total population is approximately a quarter of a million people. Many times, these tribes also served as tributaries of [[Algoquona]] and Tepetlcali, which made them natural allies of [[Urcea]] and Mixcala during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]].
