Map of Capital

**Capital** is the largest city in the known world with a population of 4,342,212 and an area over 5,352 sq km. It is the Late Emperor Orion’s City-State. Enclaved within Caera. The current ruling party in Capital is House Orion, of the late Emperor Orion. There is no official Emperor of Capital to date (0 EM). Though House Orion claims that Lady Capito is the rightful heir of the throne.

   The national currency is the Lepton (plural Lepta). The Lepton was formerly made of metal coin but now is printed paper.

## History

Capital was one of the first cities to be established on Scorched Earth.

In Krýo -27 EM tests conducted at the Carrefour Lazaretto Archeology Site in Capital on what is thought to be Arcadian technological remains, confirmed that humans have inhabited Capital since the beginning of Scorched Earth.

## Politics and Government

Capital is ruled through a feudal system of nobility and commonwealth. The City is divided up into 12 boroughs, or duchies, 7 of which are ruled by noble dukes and duchesses. The remaining boroughs are set to be ruled directly by the Noble Court, also called Privy Council.

The Boroughs are further subdivided into 58 distinct districts, or counties. Almost every county has a respective Count. It is not uncommon for Boroughs to change districts on a semi-regular basis. Since the Knightly Order which guards a county never changes.

Counties are overseen by a Count, but most day-to-day operations are handled by the Knightly Order which guards that county. The Knightly Order of a county only has jurisdiction over that county. They can not draw blood or make arrests unless failure to do so is in violation of the HRE’s Oath.

### Knightly Orders

His Royal Emperor’s Oath

> “I, name, will place character above riches, and concern for others above personal wealth. I will speak the truth at all times, and forever keep my word. I will defend those who cannot defend themselves. I will uphold justice by being fair to all. I will be generous to the poor and to those who need help.  I will forgive when asked, that my own mistakes will be forgiven. I will live my life with courtesy and honor from this day forward in the name of Capital. The Greatest city that is, has ever been, and ever will be.”
