Ophelion League
The Ophelion League was an international organization comprised of 6-7 cities in the north of World 1. The peak population was 100-120, combined across all the cities. The only time any city left the organization was due to a technicality when the cities of Sleepytown and Riverhold united into the Twin Cities.

History
Due to the Blockworks Corporation's precarious proximity to spawn leading to instability and exposure to violence, player 170 "Ash" and player 573 "Red" reached an agreement, with support from the people of Sleepytown, to migrate Blockworks to Albania Bay. Blockworks' citizenry founded Riverhold across the river from Sleepytown in session three.
In session four, after Sleepytown's State Assembly elected player 729 "Vulki" as home secretary, the Ophelion League was officially founded and instituted.
In session 5 and onwards, President 170 Ash of the League took on the brunt of the diplomatic systems, recruiting Nautilus among others throughout the sessions.
Sunfish Syndicate was the first city to formally petition to join rather than be approached with an offer, following the devastation brought upon by the Crusades in session 11.
Economy
The Ophelion League's constituent members operated on a guild-based palatial economic system, with increased cooperation of the artisans' guilds from member states.
Government
The Ophelion League was headed by the President of the Federation 170 Ash, and in her absence, 420 as her Vice-President. The government can be understood as primarily a diplomatic corps, holding correspondence between member city-states and facilitating economic cooperation.
From session 3-11, the general of the military was 295 Isaac, however after session 11, this position went vacant.
Foreign affairs
The Ophelion League was a member of the First World Federation, based in Promised Home in the south.
Military
The Military was up to the President of the Federation's discretion, however consisted of citizen militias from other states.
A notable event was when Nautilus on behalf of the federation, launched an attack in retaliation against Nowy Madagaskar for their involvement in the Crusades. This operation was successful, however, their forces faced tremendous hurdles on their return, leading to losing forces.
