Agnannet (Tamashek: ⴰⴳⵏⴰⵏⵏⴻⵜ, or archaic ⴳⵏⵏⵏⵜ) is the capital of Charnea, located in the central region of Achra. It is the largest city in Charnea and one of the largest in Scipia, serving as a global city and a hub of the Scipian economy in its capacity as one of the premiere urban centers on the continent. Agnannet has a population recorded at 7,825,622 inhabitants living within the city's land area of 250 square kilometers, making it the most densely populated Charnean city with an average density of over 31,000 residents per square kilometer. The city is divided into four large administrative quarters - Afalla, Tegetan, Ajuss, and Ateram - which are further subdivided into a total of 75 districts. Agnannet has been inhabited more than 2 millenia, being one of the four great ancient cities of the Ninva Desert alongside Azut, Ekelhoc and Hamath. Until the mid 19th century, historical Agnannet was largely confined to what is today considered the Old City and the Palace district in Afalla. The industrialization of Charnea and resulting mass urbanization of the population in the late 19th and early 20th centuries led to the demographic explosion of Agnannet and a radical change in its urban layout and character as a city, giving rise to its modern organization and municipal institutions. Today, the city is home to more than quarter of the Charnean population and contributes nearly half of the national GDP as the premiere financial, economic, cultural and political center of the country.
History
Geography
Climate
Agnannet has a desert climate ( Koppën Classification BWh ) typical of the Ninva Desert characterized by long, extremely hot summers and short, pleasant winters. The heat becomes extremely elevated in the dry season with temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C (104°F) and at times reaching as high as 49-50°C (between 120.2 and 122°F) between the months of April and October, which make up the dry season in central and northern Charnea. The average temperature does not drop below 20°C (68°F) at any point during the year, and there has never been any recorded temperature below freezing. However, ground frost can occur during winter nights in the countryside outside the city to the north and east. Rainfall is concentrated between the months of December and March, with the Agnannet receiving very little precipitation overall. The region receives almost no rain whatsoever during the dry season. Dust storms are a relatively common occurrence, and particularly severe dust storms have been known to come over the city once every few years to once every decade and reduce visibility to as low as 10 meters, causing the cancellation of flights out of the city's airports and the shutting down of most schools for the duration of the dust storm.

Timɣar Amejj
The "Great Artery" of Agnannet was built in 1890 to connect the competing Great Tenere and Agnannet Central railway hubs on opposite sides of the city, and would quickly become the central axis of the modern city. The Timɣar Amejj was originally a simple rail connection to link up the disconnected rail hubs by cutting directly through the old city and Palace district. However, the corridor would eventually be widened with highway-style roadways built to either side of it and a raised track for the Agnannet light rail and tram service to run over top of the heavy rail of the original line below. As the city industrialized, the significance of the Timɣar Amejj as an urban freight line and central conduit for general transportation skyrocketed, with most businesses and factories setting up as close to the Great Artery as possible to gain easy access for its goods and input resources to be delivered and carried off, as well as to facilitate the movement of the workforce to and from the factories. Taken as a whole, the Timɣar Amejj is one of the highest volume transit routes anywhere in the world, transporting millions of people and thousands of tons of goods.
Public Transit
The Agnannet public transportation system, centered on the Great Tenere and Agnannet Central train stations as well as the Citadel transit hub, consists of a network of metros, light rail and bus lines permeating the 75 districts of the city. Each of the four quarters of the city is traversed from end to end by at least one superexpress metro line with numerous tributary lines which run between stations along the superexpress line and outlying neighborhoods across the ward, in addition to the local trains running along the same tracks and tunnels as the ward's superexpress line. The network of local bus lines, express BRT systems and the Agnannet Light Rail network provide further coverage across the districts where the relatively limited tunnels and raised platforms of the metro system do not reach and generally provide wider coverage within a given ward while the metro system provides long distance transport across the city with lower transit times and fewer transfers making it ideal for commuters traveling from peripheral neighborhoods in outer Agnannet to their jobs in the city center or the commuter centers of their ward.
Railroads
The city of Agnannet is the junction point for the Great Scipian Railway, the Ninvite Periclean Railway and the Agala-Agnannet Railway. The Great Scipian and Agala-Agnannet railways connect at the Agnannet Central train station in the eastern Tegetan quarter, while the terminus of the Ninvite Periclean railway and the Agnannet-Ekelhoc line is the Great Tenere station located in the opposite side of the city in Ataram. The two major rail hubs of the city are connected by the Timɣar Amejj. The Great Scipian Railway connects the Ninva desert and the major Charnean cities to destinations in East Scipia, principally in Alanahr, with Agnannet as its western terminus. The Ninvite Periclean and Agala-Agnannet railway are both north-south rail axes passing through Agnannet and can be considered northern and southern extensions of a combined trans-Scipian railway linked together by the Timɣar Amejj, with the Agala-Agnannet extending south towards Itayana and the Ninvite Periclean traveling north before branching off near the borders of Talahara and Tyreseia to join with the railways in those nations. Agnannet is also the hub for numerous regional rail lines connecting outlying communities in Achra and some of the neighboring provinces to the Agnannet metropolis. Western regional lines primarily connect at the Great Tenere station, with eastern lines linking up to the corresponding Agnannet Central station.
