Cienflores is the administrative capital city of Auratia. Located near the nation's geographic centre, Cienflores is the seat of the Auratian Parliament, as well as most executive, legislative, and ombudsman offices. Cienflores constrasts with Puerto del Rey, the nation's ceremonial capital and the seat of the Supreme Court.

Cienflores is a planned city, whose construction began in 1960 and ended on March 19, 1965. The city was the brainchild of Prime Minister Silvio Caballero, who saw it through to its completion. The change, which was very controversal at the time, was prompted by a desire to preserve the ancient architecture of the Old Quarter of Puerto del Rey, the previous seat of the government, and to bring the base of power away from city elite and closer to farming communities. The project ended a culmination of efforts to distance the seat of government from spheres of military influence after the September Clan military junta takeover during the Great War and ensure the autonomy of the federal government.

Like Puerto del Rey, Cienflores is a federal territory and thus is not given any of the rights that states in the Commonwealth enjoy. The president of Auratia is ex officio mayor of Cienflores, and he appoints administrators to manage the city. Notably, the city's population is capped at 210,000 to keep the population low and managable.
