Newranthia

Newranthia (Lyvenan: Nuwrantituwn) is the largest city and historical centre of the Innitberry region, as well as the capital of Lyvena. The city was named for the smaller and now defunct settlement of Ranthia, which once sat upon a site just north of the city. As the seat of Lyvena's government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in Lyvena, seeing over twenty million visitors in 2016. With a population of just over fifteen million according to the 2017 census, Newranthia is the largest city in Lyvena.
Newranthia rests upon the mouth of the River Ander, which runs through the city and outwards to Lake Meniton in the region of North Laurencia. It contains many of Lyvena's most famous landmarks, including the Pinetree Palace, the Eiffel Tower, Gold Street, the Fyle Bridge, and the Pink Terraces. Most of Lyvena's government agencies, departments, as well as the legislative and judicial bodies, are based in Newranthia, though the prime minister instead resides at Banjo Estate in the nearby countryside town of Crossonlaw.
Newranthia is also a popular tourist destination, with seven million tourists flowing through in 2019 alone. The city hosted the 1978 Summer Olympics, and every year hosts the Newranthia Film Festival, where new and popular films are played.

=== Local government ===
The city of Newranthia constitutes one of four divisions in the region of Innitberry. The city itself, while also controlled by the Innitberry regional government, is headed by the Newranthia Local Authority. The current mayor of Newranthia is Edith Mouret, a Green Party candidate who was elected during the 2021 election.
The Newranthia Local Authority meet inside the Anderside Hall. The Authority moved into the building in 1956 after extensive repairs; parliament had moved out in 1830 to the purpose-built Pinetree Palace, leaving the building in the hands of the local council. The building was left unused for 126 years, spare it's opening every now and then for parties, conferences, and art displays. The building was only declared the Authority's meeting place in 1956 to save the building from demolition by the Authority itself.
