It is located in the western corner of the [[Jilachi Desert]], and the [[Xocoyotzin River]], near the northenwest part of the coastal part of the country, overlooking the [[Sunadic Ocean]]. The 2020 census for the city proper was 5,209,944. San Jorge is also one of the two cities in the nation founded by indigenous people that still stands. According to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments, the population of [[Greater San Jorge]] is 6,804,515, which makes it the second-largest urban agglomeration in [[Olivacia]] (behind [[Orajioe]], [[Hoterallia]]) and the largest Spanish-speaking city (city proper) in the world.

Through it's large and rich history, San Jorge Xayacatlán has seen far too many events in the history of the nation. The city was originally built by the [[Sapinish]] populations in 1235 as Tlaxomolco, which was almost completely destroyed in the [[1521 Siege of Tlaxomolko]] and subsequently redesigned and rebuilt in accordance with the colonialists urban standards as "San Jorge". In 1524, the municipality of San Jorge was established, known as ''San Jorge de Tlaxomolco''. After independence was achieved, the federal district was created in 1824 and the city was renamed San Jorge Xayacatlán - Distrito Federal , simplistically named San Jorge D,F. A clause in the [[Constitution of Gran Rugido]], however, prevents it from becoming a state within the federation, as it is the seat of power in the country, unless the capital of the country were to be relocated elsewhere.

Greater San Jorge has a GDP of $351 billion in 2019, which makes it one of the most productive urban areas in Olivacia. The city was responsible for generating 15.8% of Gran Rugido's GDP, and the metropolitan area accounted for about 22% of the country's GDP. If it were an independent country in 2021, San Jorge would be the seventh-largest economy in Olivacia.

San Jorge Xayacatlán was traditionally known as La Perla del Sunadico ("the Pearl of the Sunadic"), a nickname attributed to Riamese politician Alexander Smith who really penned the following: "... look at their works: the moles, aqueducts, churches, roads—and the railways which has risen from the clay-builts ruins of Tlaxomolco...this is truly the Pearl of the Sunadic Ocean", on page 72 of the Letter IV of ''Letters from Gran Rugido''. During the Canter period, the city's motto was "Muy Noble e Insigne, Muy Leal e Imperial" (Very Noble and Distinguished, Very Loyal and Imperial). In 2014, the motto''Capital en Movimiento'' ("Capital in Movement") was adopted by the administration headed by Andrés Ibarra. Since 2013, to refer to the City, particularly in relation to government campaigns, the abbreviation CDSJX has been used.

The city of Tlaxomolco was founded by the Sapin people in 1232. The old Sapin city that is now referred to as Tlaxomolco was built on a small island that splited briefly the flow of the [[Xoyocotzin River]] into the [[Sunadic Ocean]], which is shared with a smaller city-state called Tlalpujahua. According to legend, the Sapins' principal god, Ometéotl, indicated the site where they were to build their home by presenting two axolotls facing each other peacefully. Between 1270 and 1521, Tlaxomolco grew in size and strength, eventually dominating the other city-states around the [[Valley of Laura]]. When the Canterians arrived, the Sapin Empire had reached much of modern day Gran Rugido, touching both the Sunadic Ocean and the Lake Girón.
 
=== Canterian conquest ===
 
After landing in [[Itzatlán]], Canterian explorer [[Álvaro Morte de Montemayor]] advanced upon Tlaxomolco with the aid of many of the other native peoples, arriving there on 8 November 1519. Montemayor and his men marched along the causeway leading into the city from [[Apaxco]], and the city's ruler, [[Moctezuma Tlacastsintli|Moctezuma III]], greeted the Canterians; they exchanged gifts, but the camaraderie did not last long. Montemayor put Moctezuma under house arrest, hoping to rule through him.
 
Tensions increased until, on the night of 30 June 1520 – during a struggle known as "[[La Terrible Noche]]" – the Sapins rose up against the Canterian intrusion and managed to capture or drive out the Thuandians and their indigenous rival allies. Montemayor regrouped at Apizaco. The Sapins thought the Canterians were permanently gone, and they elected a new king, [[Cuitláhuac]], but he soon died; the next king was [[Cuauhpopocac]].
 
Montemayor began a siege of Tlaxomolco in May 1521. For three months, the city suffered from the lack of food and water as well as the spread of smallpox brought by the Canterians. Montemayor and his allies landed their forces in the south of the city and slowly fought their way through the Templo Mayor. Cuauhpopocac surrendered in August 1521.The Canterians practically razed Tlaxomolco during the final siege of the conquest.
 
=== Rebuilding ===
 
Montemayor first settled in Apaxco, but decided to rebuild the Sapin site to erase all traces of the old order. He did not establish a territory under his own personal rule, but remained loyal to the Canterian crown. The first Canterian viceroy arrived in San Jorge around fourteen years later. By that time, the city had again become a city-state, having power that extended far beyond its borders.
 
Although the Canterian preserved Tlaxomolco's basic layout, they built Catholic churches over the old Sapin temples and claimed the imperial palaces for themselves. Tlaxomolco was renamed "San Jorge" due to the final siege was prayed found the word easier to pronounce.

San Jorge Xayacatlán (Official Name: Ciudad de San Jorge Xayacatlán; abbr.: CDSJX; Xaliequense: Altepetl Xalliyacatl) is the capital of Gran Rugido and its most populated city. It is located in the western corner of the Jilachi Desert, and the Xocoyotzin River, near the northenwest part of the coastal part of the country, overlooking the Sunadic Ocean. The 2020 census for the city proper was 5,209,944. San Jorge is also one of the two cities in the nation founded by indigenous people that still stands. According to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments, the population of Greater San Jorge is 6,804,515, which makes it the second-largest urban agglomeration in Olivacia (behind Orajioe, Hoterallia) and the largest Spanish-speaking city (city proper) in the world.

Remaining as one of the two cities in Gran Rugido founded by indigenous people, the city was originally built by the Xaliecan populations in 1235 as Tlaxomolco, which was almost completely destroyed in the 1521 Siege of Tlaxomolko and subsequently redesigned and rebuilt in accordance with the colonialists urban standards as "San Jorge". In 1524, the municipality of San Jorge was established, known as San Jorge de Tlaxomolco. After independence was achieved, the federal district was created in 1824 and the city was renamed San Jorge Xayacatlán - Distrito Federal , simplistically named San Jorge D,F. A clause in the Constitution of Gran Rugido, however, prevents it from becoming a state within the federation, as it is the seat of power in the country, unless the capital of the country were to be relocated elsewhere.

Greater San Jorge has a GDP of $351 billion in 2019, which makes it one of the most productive urban areas in Olivacia. The city was responsible for generating 15.8% of Gran Rugido's GDP, and the metropolitan area accounted for about 22% of the country's GDP. If it were an independent country in 2021, San Jorge would be the seventh-largest economy in Olivacia.

After years of demanding greater political autonomy, residents were finally given the right to elect both a head of government and the representatives of the unicameral Legislative Assembly by election in 1998. Ever since 2006, left-wing parties have controlled both of them. The city has several progressive policies, such as abortion on demand, a limited form of euthanasia, no-fault divorce, and same-sex marriage.

On 11 August 2021, it ceased to be the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal or D.F.) and is now officially known as Ciudad de San Jorge Xayacatlán (or CDSJX), with a greater degree of autonomy. A clause in the Constitution of Gran Rugido, however, prevents it from becoming a state within the Rugidoense federation, as it is the seat of power in the country, unless the capital of the country were to be relocated elsewhere.

Nicknames and mottos

San Jorge Xayacatlán was traditionally known as La Perla del Sunadico ("the Pearl of the Sunadic"), a nickname attributed to Riamese politician Alexander Smith who really penned the following: "... look at their works: the moles, aqueducts, churches, roads—and the railways which has risen from the clay-builts ruins of Tlaxomolco...this is truly the Pearl of the Sunadic Ocean", on page 72 of the Letter IV of Letters from Gran Rugido. During the Canter period, the city's motto was "Muy Noble e Insigne, Muy Leal e Imperial" (Very Noble and Distinguished, Very Loyal and Imperial). In 2014, the mottoCapital en Movimiento ("Capital in Movement") was adopted by the administration headed by Andrés Ibarra. Since 2013, to refer to the City, particularly in relation to government campaigns, the abbreviation CDSJX has been used.
