Neutralston City

Neutralston City (Polish: Neuston Miasto; Mandish: Нийтрэлстоn Хот) alternatively referred to by its former name Sabia (Mandish: Сабіа) is the capital and largest city in The People's Republic of Neutralston with a population 700,000. The city covers an area of 1,511 square kilometers (870 sq mi), while the urban area covers 2,891 square kilometers (1,275 sq mi), and the metropolitan area covers over 26,000 square kilometers (10,000 sq mi). It serves as the home of the Neutralston Government, as well as other government entities such as the Ministry of Defence and the Neutralston City Assembly.
Founded as Sabia in 1655, the city played a key part in the development of the Federation of Neutrolosan, being a main trading hub for the nearly formed nation allowing the surrounding regions and the government to prosper. The City remained the political and economic centre for most of its history, until the British Empire annexed Neutrolosan, in which the new capital became Port Benedict. This remained the case until British Neutralston gained independence in which the Kingdom of Neutralston reestablished Sabia as the capital in 1899, renaming it to Neutralston City to better reflect its importance within the country in the process.
== Early History ==
==== Establishment of Sabia ====
In 1657, the Federation of Neutralosan, seeking to consolidate power and improve administrative efficiency, founded Sabia as a central hub. Located at a strategic crossroads of trade routes and fertile lands, Sabia quickly grew into a bustling center of commerce, culture, and governance. Its establishment marked the beginning of a new era for the Nation, who had previously been dispersed and semi-nomadic.
==== Tribal Inhabitants ====
Before the founding of Sabia, the region was inhabited by various Mandish tribes. These tribes, known for their rich cultural traditions and strong communal bonds, lived in harmony with the land. They practiced agriculture, hunting, and fishing, and maintained a deep spiritual connection to their environment. The establishment of Sabia brought these tribes together, creating a more unified and structured society.
