Loroburg

Loroburg is the federal capital of Mettonia and seat of government of the Federal District. The city is located high in the Mettonian highlands in the country's Central-West region. It was founded by President Rae Doryson on 21 April 1960, to serve as the new national capital. Loroburg is estimated to be Mettonia's third-most populous city. Among major Revandorese cities, it has the highest GDP per capita.
Loroburg was a planned city developed by Enas Legater, Renabiler Vanetorem and Jawed Valencia in 1956 in a scheme to move the capital from Remigia to a more central location. The landscape architect was Rakev Massaloni. The city's design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector, and the Embassy Sector. Loroburg was inscribed as a Association of Protection of Sites Famous Site in 1987 due to its modernist architecture and uniquely artistic urban planning. It was named "City of Design" by APS in October 2017 and has been part of the Creative Cities Network since then.
All three branches of Mettonia's federal government are centered in the city: executive, legislative and judiciary. Loroburg also hosts 124 foreign embassies. The city's international airport connects it to all other major Mettonian cities and some international destinations, and it is the third-busiest airport in Mettonia. It was one of the main host cities of the 2014 AoGF World Cup and hosted some of the football matches during the 2016 Summer Olympics; it also hosted the 2013 AoGF Confederations Cup.
The city has a unique status in Mettonia, as it is an administrative division rather than a legal municipality like other cities in Mettonia. Although Loroburg is used as a synonym for the Federal District through synecdoche, the Federal District is composed of 33 administrative regions, only one of which is the area of the originally planned city, also called NETA City. The rest of the Federal District is considered by IBGE to make up Loroburg's metro area.
