Haliburt (/ˈhælɪˈbɜːrt/ HAL-uh-burt) is a consolidated city-county, the capital, and second-most populous city of Josephinia behind Port Royal. With 314,503 inhabitants as of the 2023 census, it is the second-least populous capital city in Elia Borealis after Ahtawenhne. Haliburt is a satellite city of the broader Upper Sequaneake Metropolitan Community, the most populous metropolitan area as well as the economic and cultural center of Josephinia proper, and the fourth-most populous metropolitan area in Elia Borealis.
The city was officially founded by Alexander Stewart Damegie on 7 April 1714 on the north bank of the Comey River, where it widens and runs into the Sequaneake River, in what was then the Fallish Colony of Cisylvania. The area in which Haliburt is located, however, had first been settled by the inhabitants of Nystad, a colonial outpost of New Waldrich, which makes the modern city one of the oldest continuously inhabited Calesian settlements in Elia Borealis. The ramparts surrounding the city core of Old Haliburt are the only preserved colonial city walls on the continent. By the 19th century, Haliburt had grown to be the sixth-largest city in the Grand Federation, and in 1896, it became an independent Josephinia's capital.
Haliburt has a diverse economy centered around service, manufacturing, and finance, and it is home to all of Josephinia's government institutions. Major research universities include the Caulfield University in Haliburt, Haliburt University, and the Technical University of Josephinia. The city's major attractions are the historic Old Haliburt with the Haliburt Citadel, the House of Parliament and Connelly Palace, the Haliburt Union Station, the Imperial Alton Hotel, the Contemporary Arts Museum, the Josephinian Botanical Garden, and the Cathedral of Our Lady.
