The United Principalities of Cibola (Cibolan-Saxon: Vereinigte Fürstentümer von Zibola) is a small nation located in Souteast Cibola. It borders Taktwinkel to the north, the Natopian demesne of Whales to the south, and is in close proximity to Mondosphere-held territory in the West. Nestled among the lower Lanzerwald forest, the nation provides a continuation of several Saxon cultures that have existed in the region for centuries.
Consisting of five distinct principalities, they became united under the Proclamation of Weisenburg, where several representatives from each principality pledged allegiance to the Duke of Weisenburg, and proclaimed him Kaiser of the nation. These representatives would go on to form the Imperial Senate
History
After the collapse of Lanzerwald in the late 1710 ANs, the Saxon-speaking peoples in the region were left without a state. With the collapse of the nation came Razzias from ESB Cossacks from Whales. These Cossacks operated in groups, raiding towns and taking their people into slavery. The entire region burned as these warbands marched from town to town. The locals often nicknamed these Cossacks Tiere (Beasts/Animals) or Bärtige Schläger (Bearded Thugs).
The city of Nieuw-Rotterdam, once a prominent city in the Craitish region of Zandarijn, was subject to an especially harsh raid. The entire outer city was leveled by a fire set by raiders in order to draw out defenders. The city was left to rot; stripped of industry, infrastructure, and people. It was rumored this raid was carried out to lead to the eventual annexation of the city, as a 1706 decree was found in the Natopian archives that detailed the eventual integration of the city into a company settlement (the annexation of Nieuw-Rotterdam never happened in this context, as the rights of annex the city was given to Lanzerwald).
A minor Saxon noble, one Ludwig von Heida-Weisen, founded the city in this such state after the final collapse of Lanzerwald in the late 1710s AN. Renaming the city Weisenburg in his name, roving migrants began to once more settle in the city. The city gradually was rebuilt, and became a minor regional center for commerce and culture.
In 1725 AN, several Saxon lords came to Ludwig seeking protection from future Cossack raids on their holdings. Ludwig ordered them to assemble a group of local representatives to meet him in a manor on the Fuchshügel, a hill on the outskirts of Weisenburg. There, the Proclamation of Weisenburg was drafted, crowning Ludwig king of all of their lands. The Proclamation also gave the title of Chancellor to Ludwig’s close advisor, one Dr. Hans-Georg Nimitz, and laid the groundwork for an elected assembly; The Imperial Senate.

Geography
The UPC is nestled in the Lanzerwald, a deep and thick forested region of Southeast Cibola. Summers are often humid as the thick tree cover traps heat inside of the forest. Despite this, the soil in the area is said to be some of the most fertile on the entire Continent.
Demographics
Religion
A vast majority of people in the nation still profess faith with the old Ludwiggian Reformed Church. However, due to the fall of the old Ludwiggian system, a new United Saxon Church has found its grassroots in the more urban areas of the country.
There is also a small Yehudi minority, mostly concentrated around the city of Bülow. Due to the historic persecution of Yehudis, this community is given official protection by Ludwig I himself.
Language
Most in the UPC speak Cibolan-Saxon, a Germanian language that originated with the ancient nation of Germania. Although lesser in numbers, some in the nation do continue to speak Cibolan-Diets, although this number is ever decreasing.
