Οι Σουλιώτες καθιέρωσαν μια αυτόνομη συνομοσπονδία με μεγάλο αριθμό γειτονικών χωριών σε ένα ενιαίο σύνολο απομακρυσμένων και δύσβατων περιοχών της Ηπείρου. Στην ακμή της ισχύος τους, υπολογίζεται ότι η συνομοσπονδία των Σουλιωτών είχε 12.000 πληθυσμό και πάνω από 60 χωριά.<ref>Μπίρης(1960: 285ff.) βλ. επίσης Κ.
