Remigia

Remigia is a city in Mettonia, which is also the most populous city.
Founded in 1565 by the Rasollians, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Remigia, a domain of the Rasollian Empire. In 1763, it became the capital of the State of Mettonia, a state of the Rasollian Empire. In 1808, when the Rasollian Royal Court moved to Mettonia, Remigia became the seat of the court of Queen Verey I of Rasollia. She subsequently, under the leadership of her son the prince regent Veme VI of Rasollia, raised Mettonia to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Rasollia, Mettonia, and Chenghei. Remigia remained as the capital of the pluricontinental Vositanian monarchy until 1822, when the Mettonian War of Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonizing country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Remigia subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Mettonia, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Mettonia until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Löroburg.
Remigia has the second largest municipal GDP in the country, and 30th-largest in the world in 2008. This is estimated at $69 billion. In the city are the headquarters of Mettonian oil, mining, and telecommunications companies, including two of the country's major corporations, Petromett and Balle, and Revandorska's largest telemedia conglomerate, Hyper Group. The home of many universities and institutes, it is the second-largest center of research and development in Mettonia, accounting for 17 percent of national scientific output according to 2005 data. Despite the high perception of crime, the city actually has a lower incidence of crime than most state capitals in Mettonia.
Remigia is one of the most visited cities in the Southern Hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, carnival, recker, bossa nova, and superbeaches such as Pleasural Beach and North Beach. In addition to the beaches, some of the most famous landmarks include the Remigia Twin Towers; Reddit South Building; View Tower; and Remigia Central Stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums. Remigia was the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics, making the city the first Revandorese city to ever host the events, and the third time the Olympics were held in a Southern Hemisphere city. The RCS held the finals of the 1950 and 2014 AoGF World Cups, the 2013 AoGF Confederations Cup, and the XV RevanExo Games.
