Pentapolis

The Pentapolis is the colloquial term used to refer to the five cities originally founded by the Roman emperor Claudius in XX C.E. At various times in their history, the cities have been united and the name was appropriated officially as the Most Serene Republic of the Five Cities during the late Middle Ages, but the name has not had any political weight since 1763, when the British officially took control of the entirety of the island.

With independence in 192X, four of the five cities formed a Republic, but did not incorporate the name "Pentapolis," as Falx declined to join the union. However, the name for the region and - both geographical and cultural - still has currency, and the term is often applied to both the Republic of the Latin Coast and the cultural unit of the five cities.

While Falx is independent, it has strong political and economic ties to its sister cities.
