Deopolis, known in Salvian as Deopolia, is the capital of Salvia, as well as the regional capital of the Ziogolora region. With a population of 2,232,198, it is the most populated city in Salvia and the third largest in Marenesia. The city is also the center of the Deopolis Metropolitan Area, which has a population of 4,535,901, making it the most populous metropolitan city in Salvia. It sits on the eastern seaboard of Salvia and borders the Ascloni region to the north and the Lavazza region to the south.

Founded under the name of Ziogolana sometime in the 6th century BC, the city grew in size and prominence during the First Salvian Imperium and became the imperial capital, and is regarded by many as the first metropolis in Marenesia. Falling into ruin amidst constant sackings during political turmoil in the 7th century AD, the area remained largely uninhabited until its reconstruction by King Joseph I, who upon coronation declared it the capital. The city was swiftly repopulated and acted as the capital of the Holy Salvian Catholic Empire for most of its 6 century history. Both the popes and Salvian kings promoted the sciences, culture, and banking in order to make Deopolis the cultural and economic capital of Marenesia - they largely succeeded, with Deopolis becoming one of the major centers of the early modern Renaissance (Salvian: Magnaere Progresient). During this period, poets and artists such as Eugune de la Rose and Bero Carcinitti would coin the nickname "Capital of Salvians" (Salvian: Caput dox Salveae) as the capital became the center of {{wp|bourgeoisie]] and noble Salvian life during the early modern era.
