The Federation of Braodor
The Federation of Braodor was founded 223 years ago by 9 city-states and their surrounding territory. The city-states of Amstadt, Bontos, Taltana, Taltese, Briarshrug, Istanu, Canveldel, Pendlesworth, and Arborfel all came together to help in the Boartavian Revolution, as the slaves fought to take their freedom from their oppressors.
Demography and Population
Dwarves are the most common race in the Federation, but as it grows older and humans grow and travel from their ancestral lands in Boartongue, and as asylum-seeking Hobgoblins flee the slave-state of Obril, that's starting to change; Dwarves, being quite long-lived, they don't reproduce as fast as either Hobgoblins or Humans. Currently, the only Human-Majority city is Boartongue, but each city has a sizable Human population. Currently, no city has a Hobgoblin majority, but they're growing as new generations are born here.
Territories
The Federation is made up of 10 former independent city-states and their surrounding territory, as well as one "federal city," constructed to serve as the capital of the Federation.
Military
The Federation has an Army and a Navy to protect itself in the event of an attack by Obril or some other unforeseen threat.
Religion
The Federation has no official religion; all are welcome to worship whatever religion they like as long as doing so doesn't hurt people (i.e. no sacrifice of sapient life).
The most common religious tradition is worshiping the gods within the pantheon known as The Wise and the Just
Despite all religions being legal and technically allowed, the state religion of Obril, Hashetism, is somewhat frowned upon, given its commandments to be brutal and subjugate those weaker than you; this is antithetical to the values of the Federation, and thus those who still worship Hashet tend to do so secretly.

Foreign Relations
Obril, to the East, is the Federation's largest rival: a state dedicated to the brutal oppression of slaves and the underclass. Relations are cold to outright hostile; the Federation allows for clandestine slave rescues.
The Gultha Horde, to the North, has pleasant relations with the Federation. The Horde is content to leave the Federation alone and focus on reclaiming the occupied territory to their south-east, currently under control of the Obril State.
Agrestal, to the South, is a close ally.
Agriculture & Industry
The Federation's cities have grown to specialize in different industries now that they're working together.
Arborfel: this city has a gigantic farm on Lake Xepetl, and the city and its surrounding countryside is the breadbasket of the Federation.
Bontos: Bontos is a major seat of industry. Textiles and other industries that process raw materials into consumer goods have factories located in and around Bontos. Some of the best centers for higher learning are also based in Bontos.
Boartongue: Boartongue is an autonomous union of anarchist communes that is a center for mining for the wider Federation, but also manages to be somewhat self-sufficient in its food production.
Briarshrug: Briarshrug's main industry is lumber and timber products in general, harvested from the Briarshrug forest. Recent colonization efforts of the Domhanda have managed to seriously undermine this way of life.
Canveldel: Canveldel is a proving ground for industry and the industrialization process for the Federation. Mass production and new innovations in mechanical engineering make the future look bright for Canveldel.
Istanu: A city of hand-crafted, high quality artisan products, as well as other traditional artforms such as the theater, music, gambling and tourism.
Taltana: Some of the best hospitals and medical schools are based in Taltana, as well as the Taltana Alchemical Research College.
Taltese: Taltese, being situated on the water, harvests most of the fish and other seafood eaten in the Federation. Taltese also brews beer of some renown.
Pendelsworth: Pendelsworth produces much of the weapons used by the armed forces, including gunpowder and firearms.
Amstadt: Financial hub of the Federation. Banking.
