The '''United Cities''' was a state that existed in northwestern [[Corumm]] and parts of [[Canpei]] from 915 to 1215. Emerging during the death throes of the Chen dynasty and the Four Great Impostors crisis, it was originally created as a confederation of city states, the main aim of which was mutual protection, eliminating bad governance, promoting the slave trade and evading imperial taxation. The original members were the cities of [[Heng]], Sho Battai, Brink, Heft and Stoat. The economy of the United Cities was heavily dominated by slavery and not soon after its founding would slavers become the ruling class, effectively creating a highly corrrupt and despotic plutocracy. The United Cities would fall to [[Corumm]]ese Zhong dynasty armies in 1215 but many of its trade  and societal practices would continue in the territories that it had ruled.
=== History ===
=== Geography ===
=== Climate ===
The predominant climate of the area covered by the United Cities is cold semi-arid, featuring warm, dry summers and freezing winters with temperatures dropping below zero. Winters usually see light to moderate snowfall.
=== Government ===
The United Cities was ruled by the Council of Cities, a collection of the wealthiest and most influential men of each city. Only the richest ten citizens from each city were allowed to take part in the council. The choosing was not through election but by a tallying of the monetary worth of the aspirant, usually carried out by Traders Guild accountants. Every ten years a member of the council would be elected by simple majority to serve as Grand Secretary of the United Cities. The Grand Secretary had powers to represent the UC in foreign matters and trade negotiations. For the United Cities entire three hundred year existence the position was typically rotated, with no one city ever holding on to the position for consecutive terms.
=== Military ===
The United Cities kept a unified standing army known as the Iron Legion, composed of twenty thousand men in lamellar armor, divided into footmen, cavalry and artillery corps. It was augmented by city self-defense forces and private militias composed of slaves as needed. The Iron Legion was able to repel the numerically superior armies of the Zhong for many years until funding cutbacks, corruption and the intake of slaves into its ranks drastically reduced its combat effectiveness.
=== Foreign Relations ===
=== Economy ===
The United Cities economy was heavily reliant on slave labor for its agricultural and industrial manpower. UC slavers would undertake great raids into [[Rusana]], [[Duamacia]] and the rest of Zhong dominated [[Corumm]] to procure slaves for both internal use and for export. It would also acquire Audonian slaves through intermediaries since the UC never had direct access to the sea. The semiarid climate made for poor agricultural output, crops that required little water like cactus were favored. The rare alcoholic Cactus Rum has its origins in the United Cities and was also a big earner. Another source of revenue was taxation of caravans traversing through UC territory. Most trade in and out of the United Cities was overseen by an institution known as the United Traders Guild
