The Free Cities

The free cities are a collection of Kingdoms, Archduchies, Duchies, and Baronies with limited autonomy in the region of Nesfeneu. Headed by The Emperor of The Free Cities, Wolfram Guersh, The Free Cities stand in between the large nations of Farrenor to the west, The Commonwealth to the east, and Shaw Cral to the north.

In total, nearly 23 million people live in The Free Cities of Nesfeneu, belonging to any of the 19 major states.

Six major languages are recognised in the empire, and 15 minor languages can be found within the free cities too.

In total, The Free Cities harbour almost a quarter of the population of Ortheid, control about 30% of its economy, and produces the second highest amount of steel, the third highest amount of grain, and sixth highest amount of gold and precious gems. As an ambassador from Dormant once said; '' 'If The Free Cities ever united under a Guersh, Ortheid would fall in a night. Thankfully it is the prime mission of all nations in Ortheid to keep that from happening.'''
