Vonderburg

Vonderburg, officially the City of Vonderburg, is the capital and largest city of the Northern Province, and the fourth-largest city in Jonathia overall, with 5,068,124 residents as of 2022. It covers an area of about 46.9 square miles (121 square kilometers), mostly at the north end of the nearby River York and the subsequent Yorkshire Hills, making it the second most densely populated large Jonathian city, behind Bellfort in Lolland. Much of the town's central area is situated around Honeyfrost Lake, which lays at the northern end of the River York.
The city was established around the beginning of the 4th century CE as a fishing town. It was granted city status in 1902, after it's population surpassed one million. The city continued to grow, and in 1935 the Northern Province, by then part of Jonathia, decided to move it's capital to Vonderburg. In recent years, Vonderburg has begun a regrowth effort following a turbulent history in the 1990s and 2000s.
A popular tourist destination, Vonderburg is known for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and landmarks, including the Vodafone Building, cable cars, the York Palace, the Northern Fishing Docks, and its Blostiatown district. Vonderburg also contains the headquarters of several major corporations. The city, and the surrounding area, is a global center of the sciences and arts and is home to a number of educational and cultural institutions, such as the Northern Province University (NPU), the University of Vonderburg (UVB), the Yorkshire University (YSU), the Croft Museum, the Vonderburg Museum of Modern Art, the Circle Center, the Vonderburg Symphony and the Jonathian Academy of Sciences. More recently, provincewide droughts in the Northern Province have strained the city's water security.
