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 doing away with most taxes on it. The original UC members were Heng, Sho Battai, Kinh, Teng 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 corrrut plutocracy. The United Cities would fall to Zhong armies in 1215 but many of its practices would continue in the territories they ruled.
