{{Template:WIP}} '''Gran Telea''' is the capital city of [[Beatavic]] It is located in the mouth of the Gran Telea River which borders Arklip, Ozeanoaldea and Līdzenums. Parliament hosted their first session in 1623. The city and province was named after the Telea tribe that settled in modern day Gran Telea. As the seat of the Beatavician federal government, it is an important political capital of the [[Independent_Coalition_of_Nations|Independent Coalition of Nations.]]
{{Template:WIP}} '''Zouterhem''' is the capital city of [[Beatavic]], largest and principle city of the [[Zouterhem metropolitan area]] and the smallest province in land area. As of 2020 it has a population of 4,216,000 million, being the second largest city in [[Beatavic]] in terms of population.  


The Beatavician constitution originally provided a federal district but was changed to a province due to the Blokvoort Act of 1743 which gave Gran Telea provincial status. The city of Gran Telea was established in 1526 to serve as a colonial capital, which played an important role in the Beatavician civil war. Shortly after the civil war parliament would host their first session in 1532 and in 1534 was narrowly won by the Federalist Party.
