Free Cities (Parallel Brazil)

The Confederation of the United Free Cities (Portuguese: Confederação das Cidades Livres Unidas), better known as the United Free Cities or just as the Free Cities were a confederation of nine colonies founded by the Trading Company of the Overseas (COU) on the southern tip of the American continent between 1611 and 1674.

Their political autonomy led them to be known by the nations as Free Cities. That name was officially adopted after their unification in 1704.
