Hovsborg is the capital of Vermrike. It is the largest city on the Vermrish peninsula. It is situated along the Silver River's estuary into the ocean on the east coast of Vermrike, with a population of approximately 900,000 in the city proper and about 2 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Transportation
Rail
The Hovsborg Metro (Vermrish: Hovsborgs U-bana) is the city's main rapid transit system. The first line opened in 1928, and today the system has 140 stations in use,[1] of which 68 are underground and 72 above ground. There are four coloured lines, as shown on the tube maps, which form eight numbered routes with different termini. Routes numbered 17, 18 and 19 (green line), 13 and 14 (red line) and 10 and 11 (blue line) all go through the centre of the city, resulting in a very centralized system. All four lines interchange at The Hovsborg Central Station. Apart from this, there are three other interchange between lines, at Radioplan, Vindögeplatsen and Gunneby stations.
The Namo Bay Tunnel, the longest tunnel in Namo, carries Line 8 trains that travel across Namo Bay.
Air
The first airport in Namo was built in Rubai in the northwestern part of the city. Initially built as a base for the fledgling Imperial Namorese Air Force, it was transferred to civilian use after Namo came under Republic of Namor control in 1921. In 1951, the Rubai Airport was renamed "Namo Antelope Yunglang International Airport" in honor of the late Liberationist leader. Over time, the airport garnered controversy because of its location in the City of Namo, with many living next to the airport complaining about noise pollution which was attributed to air traffic. After the June 28 attacks, the government began to take proposals to move the airport to a new location more seriously, as there were concerns that terrorists may take advantage of the airport's proximity to downtown Namo. Some proponents of deliberationization were livid that the airport was named after Antelope Yunglang.
In 1994, the municipal government revealed plans to build a new airport on an artificial island off the coast of Linju, called Namo International Airport (NIA). In 1999, NIA opened to the public; consequently, Antelope Yunglang Airport was closed and most of its equipment was moved to the new airport. NIA has since succeeded the Antelope Yunglang Airport as the busiest airport in Namor. It serves as the hub of Air Namor, the flag carrier of Namor.
Streets and highways

Namo has a vast network of streets, some of which have become icons of the city. Waterfront Avenue (Джубин Даидо tr. Jubin Daido) is the longest road in Capital District that is not an expressway. Starting in District 20, it runs along Namo Bay and continues into Southern Namor before merging with National Expressway 51.
Yinzo Road, located in the District 10 financial center, is home to the Central Bank of Namor, the eastern headquarters of the Bank of Huimont, and the Namo Stock Exchange (NSE). It has thus become a metonym in Namor for the banking industry and financial markets. Liberation Avenue, which begins in Waterfront Avenue and runs along the eastern bank of the Anhai River before ending in District 1's Liberation Square, is known for being the site of decennial military parades and the annual Shintsun and Worker's Day parades.
Two national expressways pass through Capital District — National Expressway 51 and National Expressway 41. The section of NE-51 in Capital District, officially known as the Gelai Expressway, traverses the outskirts of Namo from the western terminus at East Namor to the eastern terminus in Southern Namor. NE-41, officially the Namo-Xiangzhou Expressway, splits from NE-51 a few kilometers before the latter enters Southern Namor.
Bridges and tunnels
There are multiple bridges and tunnels spanning Namo Bay, Anhai River, and Hongmu River. Millennium Bridge, the most iconic of Namo's bridges, begins in Linju and passes through Namo International Airport before stretching across Namo Bay and ending at District 18 on the western side of the bay. With a total length of 23.4 kilometers, it is the longest bridge in Capital District and one of the longest bridges over water in Namor. Prior to Millennium's Bridge's opening in 2001, all vehicles had to travel from one side of the bay to the other through Waterfront Avenue. The bridge helped relieve traffic in Waterfront Avenue and reduce travel time for drivers.
Other bridges in Capital District include Anhai Bridge between Districts 10 and 11, Ganji Bridge between Districts 1 and 2, and the Daiji Sang Memorial Bridge which crosses the Anhai River in Jungchang.
There are three undersea tunnels in Capital District — Namo Bay Tunnel, which only carries trains from the Capital District Metro, the Anhai River Tunnel between Districts 5 and 6, and the Hongmu River Tunnel which carries NE-51 between Capital District and Southern Namor.
Ferries
Silverlinjen (The Silver Line) is a ferry line trafficking the Silver River since the 1980s. It connects both sides of the river on a zig-zag pattern[3] between the mainland and Bonnaholmen on the part between the Kungsbron and Jálesbergsbron bridges. The ferry is free of charge and carries mainly tourists who want to see the city from the river.
