Cahokia (Principa Moderni IV Map Game)

Overview
Cahokia is the central and dominant city of the Lower Mississippian culture, located roughly on the site of Atlanta, Georgia.1 The state itself is relatively loosely organised by European standards, but ranges out from the major urban centre at Cahokia to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast. Apart from Cahokia, urban centres are rare, and the population is largely organised into maize-farming villages. The population remains relatively dense, with nearly a million people under the official control of the state, although perhaps half of these are more properly considered subject tribes, often speaking different languages to the urban elite.2 It remains to be seen what will happen to this population with the advent of European diseases.

Cahokia has recently been centralised under a single monarch, Casquez I. His authority is by no means unquestioned, although the priest caste that held authority in prior centuries has long since faded.

Notes:
1: Note that the city in OTL is actually located far further north, in Illinois; I have transplanted it south, but otherwise retained it roughly unchanged at the beginning of the period.
