The Numidian Confederation

A loose alliance of numerous city-states in the Edue Rainforest. The alliance is primarily based on free-trade and mutual support in combating banditry along trade routes and, while a ruling council (made up of representatives from all the cities) exists, it's powers are notably limited.
Governments and demographics vary widely accross the cities of the alliance but most tend towards democracy, constitutional monarchy, and rule by merchant councils. The peoples of the confederation do share many cultural traits and it's believd they all descend from refugees who fled from the collapsing Kaliri Empire to the north thousands of years ago.
The most wealthy and populous city of the confederation is Eduvi, which lies on the southern coast. This city is also the most influential in the alliances ruling council (for what that's worth).
