Median
Founded sometime after the beginning of the Tycho Free States’ confederacy, Median is a village that exists for the purpose of governmental decision-making, mediation of disputes, and national infrastructure management. It is normally a tiny little town in the middle of an otherwise featureless stretch of road, save for the annual midsummer conventions of Free States’ governmental representatives, the larger convention every four years for the Leaders’ Councils and the election every eight years of a chief magistrate. During these times, the population balloons into the thousands, with the states’ representatives, leaders’ entourages, and many citizens who come to make appeals, have disputes settled, and sell goods to everyone else in attendance.
Some have attempted to call Median the Free States’ capital, but legally speaking, the Tycho Free States do not have a capital, as the central government exists to serve and coordinate the state governments, rather than to rule over them. Median is officially, therefore, a neutral meeting point, no more.
