The Commonwealth of Quint Cities is an association of independent city-states and lords, most of whom are related in some form or another with the Great Gem Road in the Western Continent. The Commonwealth is also a founding and current member of the United Mortal Confederation.

Country Information

 * Allegiance: United Mortal Confederation
 * Population: 1,934,000

Government
The Commonwealth does not have a federal government structure that its members pay allegiance to. Instead, the governing bodies of each Commonwealth member make decisions based on fluid consensus and common interests in security and trade. Member disputes are usually mediated by unrelated third parties. However, the member city-state of Tellemetra holds considerable influence among the whole Commonwealth and its government body, the Assembly, is often considered the de facto government of the entire nation.

History
The Commonwealth of Quint Cities was formed as a result of the Great War. Once Tellemetra was declared to become the center for interplanar travel and cultural exchange, the other cities in the Plains of Quint agreed that Tellemetra's interests were essential to the overall interest of the entire Great Gem Road. As such, the plains cities agreed to form a military and economic commonwealth for the purpose of security and better cooperation. Since its founding, the Commonwealth has standardized many aspects between its member city-states, such as the maintaining and patrolling of the Great Gem Road as well as the regulation of "immoral" practices such as slavery and prostitution.
