	== League Structure ==		== League Structure ==
	The league is composed of 20 teams from across Haesan. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a drawn match, and zero for a loss. Each team in the league plays 38 matches across a season, at home and on the road against every other team in the league. The bottom two teams are relegated to the Hana League, and the 18th place team in the Commonwealth League plays the 3rd place team in the Hana League in a home-and-away promotion series at the conclusion of the season where the winner will play in the Commonwealth League and the loser will play in the Hana League the following season. Unlike other top-flight leagues, the Commonwealth League has a unique tiebreak system, where all teams with the same number of points are first compared on the basis of points earned in head-to-head matches against the other teams they are tied with, then on the basis of goal differential in those ties, and only then by goal difference overall. If teams remain tied, then tie break match(es) may be scheduled, or if the tie is inconsequential (i.e. qualification for [[Union of Hesperidan Football Associations\|Hesperidan competition]], the league lead, or relegation is not at play) then the two teams can agree to waive the match and remain tied in the standings, although this has never occurred.

	==History==		==History==

	=== Origins ===		=== Origins: 1883-1941 ===
			The Commonwealth League was founded as the Royal Association Football League of the Haesanite Colony in 1883 on the mandate of the Opthelian Royal Governate of the Orient, with the first match being played in Solesly on the grounds of the Palace of the Seven Duchesses between Suyang Dockworkers{{Efn\|Now Suyang City FC}} and Sinju Unified Athletes{{Efn\|Now Sinju Athletic Club}}. The league was founded with six teams, nearly entirely comprised of industrial workers and not profession, who played each other home and away. Travel during the early years was difficult as even with cross-country rail lines, often times travel to and from the northern teams in Anfa and Levesque was delayed by poor weather conditions or hazards on the tracks throughout the various mountain passes along the route. As such, games were often unpredictable spectacles, and even without dedicated start times, matches still drew tens of thousands of spectators.

			By the time of Haesanite independence, the league had greatly expanded, and clubs had developed passionate fan bases. The league was renamed to the Association Football League of the Haesanite Commonwealth, a name that would later be officially contracted into the Commonwealth League. The post independence period saw teams from the north of the country like [[Club Cité d'Anfe\|Club Cité]], CF Riverain, and Levesque CF dominate the league, winning 15 of 17 Commonwealth Shields between 1921 and 1938. While very rarely a Maximusian, Slokasian, or Laeralian player would join a club, international players were exceedingly rare.

			=== Political and Economic Upheaval: 1942-1971 ===
			After the April Coup led to the establishment of an authoritarian government in Haesan in 1942, the Commonwealth League found itself on the brink of collapse after the government decreed football an "uncouth sport" due to concerns about hooliganism and football associations being used as possible mechanisms for protest against authoritarian rule, instead funding the more "genteel and respectable" sport of baseball. As a result attendance declined as many feared reprisal if they were seen at football matches, and after already sustaining the effects of an economic downturn in the late 1930s, some clubs, even successful ones like CF Riverain, were forced to shut down. Matches were often shut down throughout the 1940s and early 1950s by police intervention, and no season from 1942 to 1960 saw all scheduled matches completed. Matches were often played behind closed doors, and some teams, especially Suyang City, routinely scheduled matches in darkness to avoid disruption. While the first Lagarde government had reduced restrictions on the game in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the league was cancelled for nearly from the 1963-64 season until the 1971-72 season due to the outbreak of the Great War.

			=== Return to Popularity: 1971-1995 ===

			=== On the International Stage: 1996-present ===
