The Federated Shan States (Shan: မိူင်းႁူမ်ႈတုမ်ႊၸိုင်ႈတႆး Muang Hom Tum Jueng Tai; Burmese: ပဒေသရာဇ် ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်စု) was an administrative division of the British Empire made up by the much larger Shan States and the Karenni States during British rule in Burma.
The federation was established in order to facilitate the future transfer of the Shan principalities to the Governor of Burma. Unaware of the implications of the British political move, the Shan Saophas lost power in the process and had to contribute 50% of their revenue to the central fund as well. Their status was thus diminished from having been semi-sovereign rulers of princely states when the latter were established in 1888 to that of becoming a kind of tax collectors.[1]
