United Cities: Difference between revisions

The '''United Cities''' was a state that existed in northwestern [[Daxia]] 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 reliant and heavily dominated by the practice of slavery, only a few decades after its founding did its political system come to be dominated by powerful slaver interests, effectively creating a highly corrrupt and despotic plutocracy. The United Cities would fall to [[Daxia]]ese Zhong dynasty armies in 1215 but many of its trade and societal practices would continue in the territories that it had ruled.
