Ninjago City

Ninjago City; Ninjagoan: 忍者市, Ninjagō Ichi, internationally the Ninjago City Metropolis (Ninjagoan: 忍者市都, Ninjagō Ichi-to) and disputedly known as World Capital (of greater) Ninjago City (Ninjagoan:(大)世界首都忍者市, (Dai) Sekai shuto Ninjagō-shi), is the capital and most populous prefecture of the Second Ninjagoan Empire. The Metropolis is centered around Ninjago City, commonly known as the Ninjago City Centre, and covers Honshu, Shikoku, Awaji and other smaller islands. Ninjago City is the political and economic center of the empire, as well as the seat of the national government. The Greater Ninjago City Area is the most populous metropolitan area in ShitCraft, with more than 90.393 million residents as of 2021.
== History ==
Ninjago City has additionally been the capital city of several historical Ninjagoan nation-states, including the various Ninjagoan dynasties, the Absolute Monarch of Ninjago, the Constitutional Democratic Monarchy of Ninjago, the State of Ninjago, UN Military Administrated Zone of Ninjago and the National Government of Ninjago.
=== Pre-Wu Dynasty ===
In popular Ninjagoan beliefs, the Imperial Castle was built in ancient times by the First Spinjitzu Master to be the center of all of Ninjago. The people living in the surrounding area established what was then known as "Shinobikyo", roughly meaning 'Stealth Warrior Capital'. Centuries later, Garmadon was crowned emperor, starting the Garmadon Dynasty, where he established the country of Ninjago and Ninjago City as its capital.
=== Wu Dynasty ===
During the Wu Dynasty, Ninjago City was also the capital of Ninjago, but was often called "Ninjago town" due to its small size compared to other countries at the time. Important figures, such as the emperor, shogun and ninja resided in Ninjago City.
=== ShitCraft IV ===
During ShitCraft IV, the emperor mapped out multiple plans to create Ninjago City into an imperial center through rapid construction of Ninjagoist architecture housing, Way of the Ninja shrines and Ninjagoist propaganda buildings. Kareastikuru also planned to make the island above Honshu, Karushu, into the emperors capital where the emperor would sit on the throne of the Grand Imperial Palace, however, it never finished construction during Kareastikuru's initial reign. The plans was to make it an approximately 50 block high mega-structure, with walls surrounding the area and a big imperial gate and bridge to Honshu and a high-way to Ninjago City, it would also have a Way of the Ninja shrine for all dead Ninjagoan warriors. The exterior of the main building was only finished, which made it the largest man-made structure during ShitCraft IV, but beaten by the Castellum and the Grand Community Dome. The project has been restarted again with the establishment of the Second Ninjagoan Empire. Emperor Kareastikuru lived in the Imperial Castle located on the top of Mt.Fuji of Ninjago City. The National Diet, or the Fortitude building was built in place of the previous government building, for Emperor Speeches and NIRAAP debates. It was displayed with many Ninjagoist symbols but was later removed during the United Nations administration. 
=== Post-ShitCraft IV ===
After the Empire of Ninjago fell, many Ninjagoans from the Ninjagoan overseas areas were transported back to Ninjago. This lead to severe overpopulation issues, especially in Ninjago City where most housing were located.
When Kareastikuru returned to Ninjago, he promised the people to remove the United Nations off of the island, and use their institutional buildings as new homes for the Ninjagoans. 
==== Ninja-UN War in Ninjago City ====
Most of the Ninja-UN war was battled in Ninjago City for access to the National Diet which held power in Ninjago. After the UN's defeat, their administration was demolished and an election held which resulted in astounding victory for the Great Ninjagō Prosperity Association, which later gave birth to the Second Ninjagoan Empire.
==== Kareastikuru's plans for Ninjago City ====
During the times of the Empire of Ninjago, Kareastikuru dreamt of making Ninjago City into the most technologically advanced and prosperous capital of ShitCraft, with classical Ninjagoan architecture, massive monuments, etc. However, due to the overpopulation issues Ninjago had after the UN left administration, Kareastikuru has a more order based-approach for future projects.
The main project is called "the World capital (of greater) Ninjago City" ((大)世界首都忍者市, (Dai) Sekai shuto Ninjagō-shi) and was planned to rework all of Honshu, Shikoku and Awaji into Ninjago City, making it the largest capital in ShitCraft as well as the most populated and wealthiest. Ninjagoan officials and workers have already deforested an area and built the Grand Community Dome. It is a mega-structure, large as, or larger than the Grand Imperial Palace, for Emperor and Great Ninjagō Prosperity Association speeches. Ninjagoan officials are also closely working with the tech company, Borg Industries, to expand Ninjago's industrialization and automization. The Ninjagoan Government and Borg Industries have already constructed a sky rail-way system (SRWS) which extends from Ninjago City South to the Karushu North.
== Important structures ==
=== Imperial Castle ===
The Imperial Castle is the structure which serves as residence of the Emperor in Ninjago City. Historically it was the official residence for the Emperor, however, after 19 May 2021, the official residence was moved to the Grand Imperial Palace, Karushu Prefecture. The Project for the Grand Imperial Palace is not yet finished however, so the de facto residence of the Emperor is still in Ninjago City.
=== Imperial Diet ===
Main Article: Imperial Diet
The Imperial Diet was built after Ninjago's vicotry over the United Nations, with purpose to replace the National Diet building. In the great Ninjago election in the Imperial Diet of 2021, the Great Ninjago Prosperity Association won 98% of Ninjago's public votes.
Great Community Dome
The Great Community Dome is Ninjago's largest structure, slightly beating the Grand Imperial Palace in width. It was built to house Ninjago City's population during important Emperor and GNPA speeches and announcements. The centre floor of the building showcases a large twin dragon symbol, and fits 8 battalions of the Imperial Ninjagoan Army.
On the southern end, the Soldier's Hall was built, mainly as a starting point for marches on the Victory Road. The building contains artifacts and trophies from Ninjagoan wars. 
The Victory Road starts from the Soldier's Hall and has 4 turrets on each side, a triumphant arch and a roundel leading up to the Grand Community Dome.
