**Nadyiv** (Hrozavan: Надиїв, felimized: *Nadyyiv ;* Cosonaan: *Nadyev ;* Illjik: Nadijev) is the capital and most populous city of Hrozava. It is in west Hrozava along the Dnipola River and Nadiyu Lake. Its population in July 2048 was 14,865,000 (though higher estimated numbers have been cited in the press), making Nadyiv the ???-most populous city in Kanita. The city has always been nicknamed the City of Hope, as its name is based off the Hrozavan word *Nadyu*, meaning hope, and almost the fact that the city has always been a haven for people hoping to restart their lives.

Historically, the city always has been the capital of Hrozava, being the most properous city in Hrozava, even during the Era of Disunity. The city was almost completely razed by the Illjik in the Great Burning of Nadyiv, in 1790 during the Nadyiv Revolution. After the razing, Hrozavan nobles began hiring architects to rebuild the city from stone and marble. The city is the first example of Hrozavan-style Baroque architecture anywhere in the world. During the Civil War of 1936, the city escaped most destruction by being a Revolutionary stronghold of Novembrists that won the war. After that, the city served as capital of the Federation of Hrozava, until 2036, when the Federation of Hrozava joined Slavia, it became the capital of the Confederate of Hrozava, within Slavia. Following Hrozava's secession from Slavia, and its breakup shortly after, it became the new State of Hrozava's capital.

The city is famous for the Baroque style all over the city center, especially along the Dnipola bank. Famous landmarks in the city, are the Pechersk Center, the tallest building in Kanita, the Svytlanskyi Palace, home of the President of Hrozava, and the Lypky Lavra, the largest Svyeto temple in Hrozava. The city enjoys warm summers, and cold winters, with lots of snow. The city is one of the furthest north capitals in Ulina, after Chunglegrad, Bredibor, and Illhar.

The city is divided into 22 seperate okresy, with the city center being in Pechersk Okresy, and Nadiyu Okresy. Nadyiv's okresy are the only ones in Hrozava, not named after their okres capital, because the capital city of every okresy is Nadyiv.

#### **Geography of Nadyiv**

The city of Nadyiv lies on the eastern banks of the Lake Nadiyu, upon the Dnipola river. The city lies about 596 feet above sea level, and sits upon an iron reserve. The city's neighborhoods expand southeast upon the Dnipola, towards Mukachevo, the 6th largest city in Hrozava, often nicknamed Nadyiv's younger brother. Recently, however, the former marshes on the north bank of the lake have been developed, with the construction of the New Nadyiv Business Center, the Pechersk Center, and the small Vau'senan town of Breda are good prospects of this.

#### **Demographics of Nadyiv**

The city, and metro of Nadyiv are home to about 14,865,000 people, with the vast majority living in urbanized sectors close to the city center. The city is almost completely Hrozavan, with the only neighborhood with a decently sized minority being the Pechersk Okresy, home to the town of Breda. The Hrozavan language is spoken almost completely in the city, with a few pockets of Rybayerian and Cosonaan in some neighborhoods. However, before 1789, the city was divided with Illjik being spoken by most of the nobles, and bourgeois, while Hrozavan was spoken by the serfs and peasantry. During the first few years of the Grand Hetmanate of Hrozava, the city was subject to some of the worst deilljikization efforts nationwide, which funded the reconstruction of Nadyiv, which was severely burned in 1789. The city was the 2rd largest in Hrozava, from 1792 to 1941, when the Hrozavan Industrial Revolution happened. The city surpassed Hmlysta in 1952, causing the Hmlysta Declination, which brought Nitrava from most populous to 8th most populous. Since 2006, industry in the city declined, as most of its workforce moved to office work. The city undergone its 2nd large expansion during the 2010s to present day, with the population growing from 4 million in 2002 to nearly 11 million in 2042. The city grows at a faster rate than any other city in Hrozava.
