I am interested in this game. I was wondering if I could chose to be, to use an ASOIAF reference, a Free City. That's it, a merchant City-State or something like that.

A single city? Well that spot south of Goldeagle1221, north of Milkman, east of Nex, and west of Snow is open. Basically right at the crossroads of three major Houses. So the prefect spot for a merchant city, though you will have no access to the sea, still up for grabs if you want it.
