Corinth

Cornith, A Greek City with strong strategic importance, its position services as a gate way into the Peloponnese. This ancient region had long since been allies of Sparta. Like many Greek cities, the hilly ground makes it hard for large cities to be built, but as a Greek City it does maintain a high population for a Greek City.
Currently ruled by Kratesipolis, Corinth maintains close ties with Sparta. These strong cities form the Hellenic League, along with Athens.
Historically Cornith had close ties with Egypt, before it fell to Persian rule. Corinth was also one of the nine Greek sponsor-cities to found the colony of Naukratis in Ancient Egypt. Naucratis was founded to accommodate the increasing trade volume between the Greek world and the pharaohnic Egypt, during the reign of Pharaoh Psammetichus I of the 26th dynasty.
