In 1985 many Inland communities came together to form the League of Inland Cities, which seeks to strengthen the shared values of LEGO peoples worldwide. by encouraging the freedom of movement and association among its’ citizens for both economic and social benefits. The League also seeks to maintain connections with Outland communities.
The League of Inland Cities is comprised of 27 member cities and realms. It draws inspiration from two sources: first from the medieval Hanseatic League, where nearly 200 towns across central and northern Europe confederated to promote their mutual trading interests; and second from the more contemporary British Commonwealth of Nations.
The League has worked to improve commerce among its member realms. One example has been the League’s financial investments in support of Brick Rail and its new Brickstar rail service.
Also of note, the League is responsible for designating “Inland Heritage Sites.” At least one heritage site has been designated for each member city or realm. The Tripartite Realm of Bricklyn currently has three designated sites: the Bricklyn Archives Building; the Chasm of the Brickooski River; and the Vermont Outerlands Crossing Park (jointly operated by the Realm of Bricklyn and the State of Vermont). The League provides special grants for the development of Inland Heritage sites.
Headquartered in Bricklyn, the League’s Presiding Officer is currently Lars Brickmussen. Each member has one vote in the League’s Chamber of Delegates.
