The Northern Hemisphere
The Confederated Northern City-States (CNCS) Facts about the North Northern Climate: Temperate Geo-Features: Plentiful Rivers and Forests Member Leagues: the Northern Lights Confederacy (NLC), the United Mercantile Federation (UMF) and the Western Frontier Protectorate (WFP). The Port Aurora Spaceport (part of the NLC League; see below) was built as the second major entry point for Colonists to Terra Nova. The port eventually grew into Valeria-Port Aurora; the most populous city-state on Terra Nova The Confederated Northern City-States is an association of the three leagues located in Terra Nova's northern hemisphere. The member-leagues cooperate on many levels, including trade, defense, and technological development. Unlike the nations of the southern hemisphere, the leagues of the North are natural allies. They are linked by common geography, religion, and values.
