The '''Dominion of the Tonawandis'''
The '''Dominion of the Tonawandis'''
Tonawandis was [[War_of_the_Northern_Confederation#Tonawandis|captured by military force]] during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], and accordingly from [[2008]] through around [[2019]] it was the most resistant to participating in the governance of New Harren. While its leaders made their oath of allegiance to the new Kingdom with the other indigenous peoples upon the Kingdom's formation, on four separate occasions efforts were made to legally withdraw from the confederation. Officials in Port St. Charles decided to treat the territory with {{wp|salutary neglect}}, largely allowing the Tonawandis a greater degree of autonomy than the other dominions while still providing significant foreign aid and investment. In the late 2010s, attitudes began to change within Tonawandis as a desire for greater interaction with its neighbors - and greater access to Levantine goods - began to prevail, especially among younger cohorts. The shared thread of [[Algoquona]] during this period, and especially during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], led Tonawandis to abandon much of its aloofness for more significant integration into the Confederation. As of the 2030s, Tonawandis is the fastest growing part of New Harren as it embraces various economic integration measures.

=== 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 the 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.
