The United Republics of the Northern Sourcelands

United Republics of the 
Northern-Sourcelands (URN) is a fictional confederation of multiple territories in the Northern Sourcelands, part of the Source Lands Setting, that came to exist in the end of the Colonial Era, that for the most part used to be minor Feudal holds, loosely allied with Orlais. 
== History ==
After the Northern Rebellion,
 the nations were united, with the exception of the Principality of 
Ardenne, under the current moniker, and remain vassals of Orlais. 
The
 URN has been granted a massive technological overhaul since they became
 a formal Orlesian Colony, ruled by a Vice-Roy from Nova-Valier. 
The
 URN was granted a significant amount of land, held by the Riverans, which lay between the Midlands and the Northlands, which were never as 
primitive as the Northern Feudal lands. 
These former Riveran 
colonies were sold to Orlais after the Rivera decided to cut their 
losses in the aftermath of the Northern Rebellion, and in turn given to 
the URN. 
During the Midland Rebellion, the URN had technology 
far superior to that of the Midlands, but the standard military 
technology of the URN was generally lower. 
The URN only had a few 
military units with significant technology, the rest were decades behind
 the Midlands, still wielding muskets and breastplates for the most 
part, facing revolvers, mobile machine guns and much more agile 
artillery platforms of the Midlands. 
The Northlands had some 
significant advantages, for instance their ability to attach from 
virtually all sides, their numbers and the support of Orlais, which 
ultimately meant they defeated and annexed the AMT into the URN. 
The AMT
 remains the largest, and strangest member of the URN, being a 
confederation within a confederation, and they retain a large degree of 
autonomy, including that titles of nobility as well as Knighthoods and 
other such titles have no meaning on AMT soil - a dramatic violation of 
the constitution of Orlais, that makes most red-blooded Orlesians spit 
at the name. 
The rest of the URN have generally gone from being 
sworn enemies of Orlais to being stout supporters in the last few 
decades, due to the massive increase in general wealth, the removal of 
the feudal hierarchy and the massive overhaul in technology that Orlais 
brought with it.
