'''Sermoni''' ({{wp|Help:IPA/English|/sɜːr'mɒni/}}, {{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Sermoni'' {{wp|Help:IPA/Italian|/serˈmo.ni/}}), shortened version of '''La Città dei Sermoni di Sant'Andrea dalla Baia''', and sometimes referred to as '''Saint Andrew'''  ({{wpl|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Sant'Andrea''), is the {{wpl|capital city|capital}} and largest city of [[Bonaventura]]. The city is located on the southern bank of the [[Maruchei River]] delta by the [[Womens' bay]], in the southern coast of the island. Sermoni is not only the most populated city in Bonaventura, with a population of over 320 thousand people, but also the 3rd most populated in the [[West Arucian]], behind [[Porte de la Sainte]] and [[Tranquille]], both located in [[Sainte-Chloé]]. Sermoni is also the biggest city in the Sermoni—Riga {{wpl|metropolitan area}}, the largest urban conglomerate in Bonaventura.

In 1531, a religious mission led by Priest [[Fosco Barba]] saw the establishment and construction of the Saint Andrew’s Parish and the Church of Saint Andrew of the Bay over nowadays Uptown Sermoni. Following the Etrurian victory in the [[Fragmentation war (Bonaventura)|Fragmentation war]] and the arrival of the [[Etruria#constituent states|Accadian]] Families in the port of the Parish of Saint Andrew, the colony of [[New Accadia]] was settled and the Parish had been officially elevated to a village by January 1538. The city that initially was called Saint Andrew of the Bay quickly received the nickname of “the city of sermons,” given the importance and the fervous participation of the local religious community.

The city quickly grew in population, as most of the inhabitants of the then colonial capital city of [[Riga]], which was being constantly raid by pirates. The position of Saint Andrew and the water route necessary to reach it were both strategic and defensively convenient to the New Accadian government. By 1704, Saint Andrew not only officially changed its name to the ''City of Saint Andrew's Sermons'', but also officially became the seat of the colonial administration. However, in 1804, a {{wpl|Richter scale|category 7}} {{wpl|earthquake}} hit the [[Iacattuotili Valley]] and it nearly destroyed Sermoni. After almost a decade of reconstruction, the city restablished itself and it has, since then, exponentially grown in area, population, and riches.

Sermoni is a modern economical and social hub not only in Bonaventura, but also in the Arucian. It often tops regional lists in topics such as {{wpl|education}}, {{wpl|health}}, {{wpl|infrestucture}}, {{wpl|entrepeneurship}}, and {{wpl|quality of life}}. Sermoni is the most diverse and economically developed city in Bonaventura, being consistantely ranked as a [[World City Studies Institute|third-rate]] [[World City Studies Institute|world city]] by the [[World City Studies Institute]]. The city is a pivotal regional center in technology, business, social and urban development, housing some of the best Arucian universities, such as the [[Federal University of Saint Andrew]], the [[Laguna University]], and the [[Scientific Institute of Bonaventura]].

==History==
==Geography==
==Administration==
According to the [[Bonaventura#History|Bonaventuran constitution of 1956]], Sermoni is a recognized {{wpl|municipality}} within the [[State of San Giorgio (Bonaventura)|State of San Giorgio]] and an integral part of the [[Bonaventura#Sub-divisions|Bonaventuran federation system]]. As a municipality, Sermoni’s executive branch is governed by a {{wpl|Mayor}} (''Sindaco''), currently Gaspare Garofano, and its legislative branch by a {{wpl|Unicameralism|unicameral}} Municipal Assembly (''Assemblaggio Comunale''), all of which are popularly elected every four years. Though Sermoni is responsible for its constitution and laws, it holds no {{wpl|Judiciary|judicial power}}, with which are the responsibility of the State and/or the Federation to maintain. The municipality is free to set and collect {{wpl|property taxes}}, {{wpl|income taxes}}, and {{wpl|corporate income taxes}}.

While normally the seat of a municipality is the local {{wpl|city}} (''Città''), Sermoni, as a municipality populated by more than 100,000 people, is further subdivided into {{wpl|Circoscrizione|circoscrizioni}} (similar to the “{{wpl|arrondissement|arrondissements}}” in [[Verlois]]) and its seat lies in the ''Prima Circoscizioni'', also known as La Chiesa (or Uptown Sermoni). In total, Sermoni is subdivided into 7 ''circoscrizioni'': La Chiesa, Porto Fortuna, Le Donne, Borghesi, San Genaro, Piazza Ottobre, and Laguardia—Candela. Each Sermoninian ''circoscrizioni'' is further divided into Quarters (''{{wpl|Quartiere|Quartieri}}''), thus configuring Sermoni as the only municipality in Bonaventura that is not further divided into Thirds (''{{wpl|Terziere|Terzieri}}'').
