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. | 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.

Like the Free Tribes, the people here are an ethnic mix, with genetic heritages varying between the cities but generally showing some shared Netansett, Algosh, Mixcala, and Tonawandis lineages. People living within the Federated Cities Administration have identities and traditions closely tied to that of their respective city. Most cities have dozens of miles of associated hinterlands between them that serve as the economic zone of influence as well as farmland necessary to feed their populations. The cities traditionally warred with one another, and limited raiding does continue, but significant military and diplomatic efforts by the central government have managed to implement top-down solutions to long running disputes about land, resources, and city honor. | ||

Most peoples within the Free Tribes area seasonally migrate around the territory, with some going into the former Condominium and Military frontier areas. The people living here are an ethnic mix, with some relation to the Algosh, Netansett, Mixcala, and even Sabnak peoples depending on the tribe and the individual. By definition, people within the free tribe area have no distinct national identity and instead associate more closely with their immediate tribe as well as to their traditional migratory lands. | ||
