'''Tequitinitlan''', known colloquially as '''Tequi''', is the {{wp|capital city}} of [[Zacapican]]. The city is located within the country's eastern Zacaco region, and is less than 200 kilometers from the southern Thalassan Ocean. The city is made up of more than 900 [[Calpolli system|Calpolli]] communal wards, which are organized into 12 ''Huecalpolli'' or super-wards that serve as the macro level subdivision of Zacapitec cities with a population exceeding 200,000. Tequitinitlan (lit. "City of Workers") was formed following the [[Red Banner Revolution]] in the year 1780 through the merging of six Atlepetls including the Imperial capital at Chicomoztoc into one unified urban center, and has multiple distinct "centers" which could each be described as a {{wp|Downtown|downtown area}} in their own right. Like Zacapican's largest city [[Tecolotlan]], the city of Tequitinitlan encompasses the entire area of the corresponding [[Atlepetls of Zacapican|Atlepelt]] of Tequitinitlan, placing the second and third level subdivisions on the same scale. Thus, the Tlatoani and Mayor of the city operate as a ''de facto'' {{wp|diarchy}} with preference given to the Tlatoani as the Atlepetl level executive in case of dispute. The seat of the [[Monarchy of Zacapican]] which is also the formal seat of the national government is located within Tequitinitlan in a special district of the city known as the ''Tlatoloztotla'' which is governed directly by the national monarch. Offices of the Tlacacallique parliament and other aspects of the elected government are located immediately outside the bounds of the Tlatoloztotla, opposite the royal palace of government in which the Chief Secretary and the executive government of the monarch resides. The space between the two is the ''Zocalo'' or central plaza of the city of Tequitinitlan, which is known as the Tribunal Square. Tequitinitlan is the largest city by both area and population in the Zacaco region and the second most populous city in the country.  
'''Tequitinitlan''' ({{wp|Nahuatl}}: 𐐻𐐯𐐿𐐶𐐨𐐻𐐨𐑌𐐨𐐻𐑊𐐰𐑌, known colloquially as '''Tequi''', is the second largest city in [[Zacapican]] and the {{wp|capital city|capital}} of the [[Zacaco Republic]]. It is located 500 kilometers southeast of [[Quitzapatzaro]] and some 200 kilometers inland from the Makrian ocean, in the southern Zacaco valley. Tequitinitlan is a large city with 4.7 million citizens spread out over 349 square kilometers, giving a relatively low average density of roughly 13,000 per square kilometer. The city is the most well known example of the Zacapine {{wp|Planned community|planned cities}}, built from scratch beginning in 1914 and expanding outwards through a series of {{wp|Urban planning|urban expansion plans}} as the population grew. The city center was purpose built to serve as the political center for the Zacaco Republic, relocating the government from its temporary headquarters in [[Tecolotlan]] into new administrative offices, a new legislature building and a new set of courthouses. The needs of the expanding population and municipal economy which have emerged since, as well as the expansion of the city and Republican governments have necessitated the near constant expansion of the original facilities and neighborhoods, rapidly advancing the frontiers of the Tequitinitlan altepetl into the surrounding flat land of the Zacaco valley.  
 
Through its earlier iterations as the city of Chicomoztoc, Tequitinitlan is the oldest known continuously inhabited settlement in Zacapican with its foundation being recorded some time after the beginning of the Old Empire period around 2000 BCE. The original settlement, which is now the core of the Tequitinitlan metropolis, served as the religious and political center of Zacapican for an almost unbroken period since its foundation into the present era. In the early modern period, prior to the merger which formed the modern city, the area of Tequitinitlan was a nascent {{wp|megalopolis}} with a booming population due to the early effects of the {{wp|industrial revolution}}. In the years leading up to the Red Banner capture of the city, a dichotomy had developed in which the wealthy and the factories and workhouses they owned would be situated in and around Chicomoztoc, while the growing satellite cities were full of slums and {{wp|ghetto|ghettos}} inhabited by displaced peasants and minority communities from the countryside which flocked to the cities in search of work. This highly polarized dichotomy was broken soon after the Red Banner takeover of the city and the flight of many of the city's elites. The land between the cities, reserved by ''pochteca'' estates previously, was opened up to the population of the city to settle in. The cities of the megalopolis remained formally separate but began to meet each other as they expanded in this fashion. In the same short period between the fall of the city to the rebels and the end of the revolutionary war, the factories at the heart of the city were relocated all across the region to be nearer to their workforce, which organically developed into the urban replication of the Red Banners' [[Calpolli system]]. Near the end of the revolution, Tequitinitlan was formed from the merger of its component settlements and named after the population of slum-dwellers turned urban workers which had radically reshaped the region in a short period of time. Ever since this 18th century foundation, Tequitinitlan has remained a major economic and industrial center and the hub of activity in the Zacaco region.
