Liberators City

The City of All Liberators, or Liberators' City is the seat of the Atlantic Federation's Federal Government and de-facto capital of all federal-run territory, including São Jorge and Svärda. According to the AINSI, it happens to be the 2nd largest city on Alliance soil. Its metropolitan region, home to over 20 million Veratlantians holds literally half of the Veratlantian Republic's population. The city has 3 airports, two international and one domestic-flights-only. Over 120 languages are spoken in the metropolis many neighborhoods, but the two main ones are English (71%) & Portuguese (23%). The city is notoriously secular, showing rather abnormal statistics for religion given its size and diversity; only 20% of the population affirmed to be part of a pre-established or institutional form of religion. Its stock exchange benefits from its location in between the Americas and Europe. The city is also the financial and cultural heart of the Federation, and has hosted the 2011 AIN EXPO.

Liberators City is the Federal Capital of the Atlantic Federation. At Western Sector, in Alianta Square are located the Supreme Court of Justice, the Federal Executive Office, the Sister Chambers of Congress, the Palace of the Federation and most federal ministries, as well as the headquarters of the Veratlantean Military and several government agencies. From here, all federally run territory is administered, including Svärda and St. George, which do enjoy some autonomy like this city itself, but responds to the federal government and its authorities as their maximum representants in the Federation.

Liberators City is also the financial heart of the Atlantic Federation, with basically all major Veratlantean companies having moved their HQ's here, seduced by the the city's great international visibility and touristic traffic. The city municipality has obviously the largest budget in the federation and in general this is a very business oriented city. Industrial activity takes place in large scale in the northeastern parts of the metropolis and Liberators City's got 2 of the largest airports and its port is second in the Federation only to that of Port Elizabeth, a 40 minutes drive in the neighboring city which has more coastland and space available for constant expansion. Besides being the Federation's political and economic heart, the city features a vivid, urban, dynamic culture with a diversity to dwarf that of any other city in the AF. Its people is regarded as very welcoming, used to the people coming in and out all the time from other major cities in different Nation-States of the country. It is the main gateway to the Veratlantic Archipelago and its countries, and many of the major airliners in the AIN have flights here and some, such is the scale of the AF, often operate flights from Liberators City to other major capitals in Veratlantea. The city hosted the Alliance of Independent Nation's 2011 Expo, and well known abroad. Etymology The long name "City of the Liberators", or "Cidade dos Libertadores" (Portuguese), "Cité des Liberateurs" (French), "Sitäs aus Libertarar" (Libraëritan), "Ciudad de los Libertadores" (Spanish) - reveals the idea behind the name. The city, originally named Veratlantiana, was renamed and reorganized into a Federal District in 1914, the year following the foundation of the Atlantic Federation. It pays a tribute to the many independence heroes of the many different regions and nation states that made it possible for all Veratlanteans to organise later into one country, not discriminating one specific independence war or personality over another and creating a sense all efforts were equality important.
