a question of the hypotetical united free cities(often called New Valyria). Volantis is generally brought up as the one best suited to unite the city states beneath one banner. but isnt volantis in a terrible logistical position to do so? its FAR from any of the other cities, it only shares borders with myr and lys, between it and Norvos, Pentos and Qohor is unocolonized land without roads, like Qohor, it shares direct borders with dothraki lands. given these terrible disadvantages why Volantis?

Because it was the biggest and strongest and the only one who wanted to, back in the day.
