Stockholm (Swedish: [ˈstɔ̂kː(h)ɔlm] (listen))[8] is the capital and largest city of Sweden as well as the largest urban area in Scandinavia. Approximately 980,000 people live in the municipality,[9] with 1.6 million in the urban area,[6] and 2.4 million in the metropolitan area.[9] The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Outside the city to the east, and along the coast, is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. It is also the county seat of Stockholm County. For several hundred years, Stockholm was the capital of Finland as well (Finnish: Tukholma), which was then a part of Sweden. The population of the municipality of Stockholm is expected to reach one million people in 2024.[10]
'''Seekant''', officially the '''Federal City of Seekant''', is the capital and second largest city of [[Alaoyi]] as well as one of the largest urban areas in South Galia. Over a million people live in the municipality with 3.6 million living in the urban area and 6.1 million in the metropolitan area. The city stretches along the eastern coast of Alaoyi. The city lies on several different islands and on the mainland of Alaoyi. The area was settled sometime in the early 1500s, around the time migrating Nuwelanders were traveling to what is now Alaoyi. The city was first mentioned as ''Wogemantel'' in a sales receipt for iron from 1559. As the Nuwelander language evolved, the name "Seekant" began to become more common. From 1607 to the early nineteenth century, Seekant was the largest city in the [[Nuwelander Empire]], although [[Rivierkant]] was the capital.


Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden. The Stockholm region alone accounts for over a third of the country's GDP,[11] and is among the top 10 regions in Europe by GDP per capita.[12] Ranked as an alpha-global city,[13] it is the largest in Scandinavia and the main centre for corporate headquarters in the Nordic region.[14] The city is home to some of Europe's top ranking universities, such as the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm School of Economics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.[15][16] It hosts the annual Nobel Prize ceremonies and banquet at the Stockholm Concert Hall and Stockholm City Hall. One of the city's most prized museums, the Vasa Museum, is the most visited non-art museum in Scandinavia.[17][18] The Stockholm metro, opened in 1950, is well known for the decor of its stations; it has been called the longest art gallery in the world.[19][20][21] Sweden's national football arena is located north of the city centre, in Solna. Avicii Arena, the national indoor arena, is in the southern part of the city. The city was the host of the 1912 Summer Olympics.
During the fall of the Nuwelander empire, much of its territories were conquered by Ndibeanyan colonists and integrated into the burgeoning [[Alannan Empire]]. Seekant was the site of several rebellions, including the infamous [[1951 Seekant Insurrection|1951 insurrection]] that kill several ten thousand people. Seekant was under martial law until the 1960s, when it slowly began to recover. Its position as a valuable port city meant that it quicky outpaced many other cities in Alaoyi. When [[End of Ewezuga|ewezuga ended]], Seekant was one of the several candidates for the new capital city of Alaoyi. It was selected by drawing a random slip of paper out of a glass jar, with Rivierkant, [[Meirleach]], [[Biyonummiri]], and [[Katwijk]] being the other candidates.


Stockholm is the seat of the Swedish government and most of its agencies,[22] including the highest courts in the judiciary,[23][24] and the official residencies of the Swedish monarch and the Prime Minister. The government has its seat in the Rosenbad building, the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) is seated in the Parliament House, and the Prime Minister's residence is adjacent at Sager House.[25][26][27] Stockholm Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the Swedish monarch, while Drottningholm Palace in neighboring Ekerö serves as the Royal Family's private residence.
Today, Seekant is the seat of the Alaoyian government and most agencies, including the [[High Court]], the [[Blue House (Alaoyi)|Blue House]], and [[Alaoyian Capitol|Capitol]].
