===Founding===
The Free Cities of Alathra was originally known as the Alliance of Coastal States, formed on May 26 between HighTide, Uhovia, and Duskenspur as a defensive agreement against any potential threats from the other nations. However, with the prospect of admitting Evergreen, a landlocked offshoot of Uhovia, the leaders realized that the "Coastal" part of the name would no longer fit. Thus, they decided to rename the alliance to the Free Cities of Alathra on May 29, merging Cody29797's Hightide and MylesDon's Duskenspur into one autonomous nation. They were soon followed by BentoSet of Evergreen and white_flare1506 on May 31 and June 1, just after the Restarting of the Server.
===The Fort Gillamore Dispute===
On June 7th, the [[Alathran Independent Press]], the primary history-recording organization of Alathra claimed the island of [[Fort Gillamore]], an abandoned territory of [[NoTown]] then [[Mausia]] that the FCA tentatively claimed. On June 8th, Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 of Uhovia, enticed by the prospect of having such a prestigious organization operate within the FCA's borders, offered to help set up moneymaking operations on the island, hoping to win the Press's favor and to make some money for both parties in the process. However, in a heated public debate, the Alathra Independent Press refused spiceymonkey1349's offer, insisting on maintaining its independence. Once again, Fort Gillamore was abandoned as the Alathra Independent Press decided to move its headquarters elsewhere.

On June 24, the sixth nation of the FCA was admitted, Ewhington, a tiny hamlet to the west of Uhovia.
==Government and Politics==
The FCA's government is a mix of local monarchy and national constitutional democracy, with the rulers of each town retaining some autonomy with the internal affairs of their respective cities. However, for large-scale affairs affecting the entire nation, including declaration of war, the state must conduct a majority vote of either the leaders of the towns or of all of the citizens.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
*The responsibilities of the Chancellor, mainly to consult with the lords of the other member-towns
The Constitution also provides for emergency powers to override some local laws in times of extraordinary crisis, but for no more than 2 days or until the end of an ongoing war.
===International Relations===
The FCA is currently allied with the nation of Fare-Sesso.
The FCA has no outstanding disputes with any other nation.
==Culture==
The FCA is a highly diverse nation, with each of its member-cities possessing unique cultural characteristics, from HighTide's reverence for turtles to Duskenspur's traditions of hospitality. However, the common thread throughout each of the cities is their emphasis on individual freedom and self-determination, the guiding principles of the FCA. Thanks to this freedom, especially of trade, the FCA's overall culture is a mixture of local practices and ideas borrowed from other member-cities.
===Landmarks===
*TideFort
*Duskenspur Gate
*Uhovia Lighthouse
