Federation of Cygnia (Joan of What?)

The Federation of Cygnia is the term used to collectively refer to the 18 Cygnian states, exclusive of the 5 territories. When a new state joins the Federation of Cygnia, it is said to have "federated". The history of the phrase Federation of Cygnia stretches back to the Proclamation of Federation issued by then-King Alexander I, which declared the unification of the original six states of Cygnia into a "Perpetual Federation".
