It is the de facto capital of the Terran Federal Republic, with the Federal Commission, Chancellor of the Republic and Senate being located in the city. London was also briefly one of the capitals of the Commonwealth of Earth, before centralisation in Brussels in 2148. It is surrounded by the British District, to the north, west and south, and the North Sea to the east. Atlantis is located 146km from London's shores. With a population of 18 million, it is one of the most populated cities in Europe, although well behind Rheinstadt, Moscow or Constantinople. The city is a financial, diplomatic and political centre of galactic proportions.
