Králowec, F.D. (Morrawian: Federální disktrikt Králowec), formally the Federal District and commonly called Králowec or F.D., is the capital city and federal district of the Republic of Morrawia. The city is on the Morawa River on both banks of the river, and shares land borders with Wallash to its north and west and Fallaine to east. Politically, it is considered a state with full state rights

Králowec, F.D., anchors the southern end of the Southern Valley, one of the nation's largest and most influential cultural, political, and economic regions. As the seat of the Morrawian federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. The city had 10.3 million domestic visitors and 7.8 million international visitors as of 2022.

Already around the mid-5th century CE, a major port near today´s location of Králowec was established by the Poth Empire, which ruled the territory of southern Morrawia in that period. It stood as a major showcase of power for the rising confederation and brought immence wealth into the area by creating new trading routes with previously unknown nations. Empire of Tilicy was the next state in the area, consolidating power of the tribes and creating the frist centralised state in centuries, after the collapse of the Empire of Ahia. On the behalf of King Jaromír II, and moved by continuing prosperity and progress, the economic and political capital of the country was moved near the delta of Morawa River, thus founding Králowec on the November 6th, 857 according to local chroniclers.

Importance of Králowec grew with Morrawia and it was a capital of all kings, queens and emperors since then. In 1245, Králowec University was established as the oldest university in Morrawia. As the imperial capital of Morrawia between 1645-1852, Králowec became a gateway for slaves coming to Morrawia to work in the country. City became a seat for the first legislature in the country´s history, the Imperial Council of Deputies, following Joseph´s I reforms and the adoption of the Summer Constitution.

City became a battleground for countless battles and uprisings during the Great Morrawian Revolution, most notable the Battle of Králowec, which saw republican forces win against highly organized imperial forces with casualties exceeding 10,000 dead. The city would change hands a couple of times during the revolution and after the war, a debate existed on whether to construct a new capital or keep Králowec as the nations sole legal capital. The latter became the truth after Tristan Palacký, general during the war and later first president of Morrawia vehemently denied any efforts for the construction of the new capital with his name or without it, as some of the republican sympathizers at the time proposed.

The Morrawian Constitution in 1836 called for the creation of a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Congress in the same exact territory as the city of Králowec. As such, Králowec, F.D., until 1909, Králowec was a territory without full state rights. The 15th Amendment, February 9th, 1868, granted Králowec the representation in the Federal Congress based on the population of the city. 40 years later, 21st Amendment was ratified in 1909, transforming Králowec, F.D. into the state-like territory with full state rights, though Federal Congress can still override legislation in the state and have certain powers over F.D. affairs. These disputes are however usually resolved with the highest judiciary. Right before the revolution and several decade after the revolution, extensive renovation occurred throughout the city, giving it the look, which can be seen to this day.

Commuters from the city's Wallash and Fallaine suburbs raise the city's daytime population to more than one million during the workweek. The Králowec metropolitan area, which includes parts of Wallash, and Fallaine, is the country's largest metropolitan area, with a 2023 population of 10.8 million residents.

The city hosts the Morrawian federal government and the buildings that house government headquarters, including the National House, the Capitol Building, all three buildings of the highest judiciary, and multiple federal departments and agencies. The city is home to many national monuments and museums, located most prominently on or around the National Mall, including the Arch of the Republic, the Palacký Memorial, and the Gardens of the Founders. It hosts foreign embassies and serves as the headquarters for the many international organizations. Many of the nation's largest industry associations, non-profit organizations, and think tanks are based in the city, including MACR, Morrawian Red Cross, Alabaster Council, Heyrowský Institution, Federal Geographic Society, the Imperial Foundation, Tusar Center, and others.

A locally elected President-Mayor and 30-member council have solely and independently governed the district since 1909, though Federal Congress retains the power to overturn local laws. This however has rarely happened since 1909.

History

Early history (until the 9th century AD)

Main articles: Ahian Empire, Empire of Tilicy, and Duchy of Morrawia

Already by the Paleolethic era, human settlements were present around today's Králowec with various tribes operating and trading there. Due to its protected location in the bay, these early settlements thrived and early reports of bigger communities are seen from around 4,000 BC. Poth Empire established in early 5th century BC saw several centers of trade, politics and culture and around 450, an important port was established in the area of Králowec serving the whole Bay and southern Thrismari as a whole.

Development in the area was accelerated by the invasion of Morrawia by Ahia in 383 AD, where many of the centralized elements of state were first established. Setbacks in the 7th century were again reversed in the 8th century with the founding of the Empire of Tilicy, creating a centralized state with a strong ruler.

857 saw the founding of Králowec as a center of the Empire of Tilicy and later the newly established Duchy of Morrawia.

High and Late Middle Ages (9th century AD-1645)

Main article: Kingdom of Morrawia

The city grew rapidly year by year thanks to it strategic location. By the end of the 12th century, Králowec had become the political, economic, religious, and cultural capital of Morrawia. The Tower Palace, the royal residence, was located at the western end of the city. In 1138, during the reign of Wladislaw I, Králowec undertook the construction of many cathedrals, churches and various other public places, including markets and public squares as the city had become the capital of a Kingdom of Morrawia 7 year prior.

After the marshland next to the river Morawa was filled in from around the 10th century, Králowec's cultural centre began to move to the Left Bank. In 1137, a new city marketplace (today's Walasowo námėstí) replaced the two smaller ones. One of them housed of the Králowec's trade corporation, becoming the city's first municipal government.

In the late 12th century, Filip Irisa extended the city's fortress to defend the city against river invasions from the west, gave the city its first walls between 1190 and 1215, rebuilt its bridges to either side of its central island, and paved its main thoroughfares. In 1245, transformed cathedral school rose into a student-teacher corporation that would become the Králowec University the same year and would draw students from all of Thrismari.

Mid-14th century saw yet another expansion of importance for the city in the form of the creation of the biggest port in all of Morrawia, mostly ordered by king Pṙemysl III, in order to safeguard the Alabaster Gulf.

With 100,000 inhabitants in 1350, Králowec, was the one of the most populous cities in the world. Throughout the years, Králowec would dramatically rise in population, power and influence and by the early sixteenth century, population of the city was 200,000 and by the seventeenth century, the number of citizens reached almost 600,000.

Morrawian Empire (1645-1822)

Main articles: Empire of Morrawia and History of slavery in Králowec

Port of Králowec, one of the primary gateways for slave labour into Morrawia during the Morrawian Empire.

In 1645, Pṙemysl V (later known as Pṙemysl I) transformed the country into the Empire of Morrawia, concentrating the power in the hands of one sovereign. Králowec became the capital for almost a century already, it was one of the main ports, alongside Veligrad and Kalmary, for slave trade formalized in 1567 by the Veligrad Proclamation.

Several colonial private companies, as well as the Crown Trade Company were present in the city. This changed the ethnic make up of a city considerably and from that point in history, we can see the shift from the homogenous ethnicity profile of the city to the more heterogenous like we see today.

During the late 17th century, Tarhaṅ Kolewský, chief minister of Rudolf I, was determined to make Králowec the most beautiful city in Thrismari. He built seven new bridges, a new chapels, schools, and a palace for himself, the Cardinal Palace. After Kolewský's death in 1690, it was renamed the Rudolfinum Palace, which later became the Grand Imperial Palace. This process of transformation was accelerated by the start of the 18th century, with the gradual decline of imperial power in the world.

Králowec grew in population from about 600,000 in 1640, to 1,200,000 in 1800. After a demolition of city walls, new boulevard named the Imperial Boulevard extended the city west, while the working-class neighbourhood of the Opawy on the eastern side of the city grew increasingly crowded with poor migrant workers from other regions of Morrawia and the world.

Králowec was the center of an explosion of philosophic and scientific activity in the 18th century. Many authors published their works in this period, and scientific brakethroughs fueled mainly by the mention of the external power of Morrawia and the struggle to modernize the country internally to satisfy the population in order to prevent revolts. Králowec was one of the financial capitals of Thrismari, and the Thrismaran center of book publishing, fashion and the manufacture of fine furniture and luxury goods.

19th century saw the greatest expansion of Králowec up to that point, in terms of territory, political importance and cultural centrality. With the international political power of Morrawia crumbling, subsequent sovereigns of the 19th century sought to liberalize, modernize and decentralize the monarchy in order to resolve mounting issues faced by the country. In 1815, Emperor Joseph I published Proclamation to All the Morrawian People, creating first ever constitution, called Summer Constitution, federalizing the empire into 5 regions with Králowec being called the Capital State. The Summer Constitution also laid out individual rights for citizens and minorities, such as colonial subjects, effectively abolishing slavery. Constitutional order in the country was brought about by the Josephinian Code. From the 1840s, massive recontruction of almost every major city in Morrawia, including Králowec had begun, continuing until the end of the century, demolishing large parts of the city and replacing them with wide boulevards and new tall buildings.

Králowec was the important political and cultural focal point during the whole Great Morrawian Revolution with Battle of Králowec and numerous other smaller battles. In that time, population of the city decreased by about a third.

After fierce debates of the Republican movement representatives, Králowec was selected to be capital of the new state, Republic of Morrawia.

19th century to the Great War (1822-1911)

Main article: Federal District statehood movement

Both Articles of the Republic and the Constitution of Morrawia did not give previously normal voting rights to any citizens on the territory of the newly created Králowec, F.D. Citizens thus could not vote in any Senate or House elections. This caused a great amount of disapproval in the newly founded republic amongst other problems, like nationality and ethnic problems and others. Critics of this arrangement pointed to the Bill of Right (1837), which guaranteed people's right for political represenation. Furthermore, according to the constitution, Králowec, F.D. is under the direct control of the Federal Congress. All 3 Tristan Palacký's administrations tried to resolve this issue with the most significant being the 15th Amendment to the Morrawian Constitution, which granted "the representation of the Králowec federal district to that equal to state representation in the Federal Congress, based on population and not on guidelines set by the Federal Congress."

At the same time, new era of reconstruction gave birth the Federal Circle district on the western side of Králowec. New all-federal district for the employees, departments and ministries of the Morrawian federal government completely transformed previously poor outskirts of the city. Amongst the most notable buildings are the Capitol Building and the National House.

In 1866, a tragedy struck in one of the older buildings by the Old Town of Králowec, which resulted in a fire, that ingulfed most of the west bank on which the city sat. This occurrence was later dubbed the Great Fire of Králowec, which ironically helped with reconstruction of Králowec and gave birth to several new districts.

Králowec Exposition of 1870 catapulted the city's reputation even more internationally after the vast destruction.

The city in this era thrived and by the dawn of the new century, Králowec had a population of almost 2.5 million people. New century also brought the 21st Amendment to the Morrawian Constitution, elevating Králowec, F.D. fully to the status of states, though Federal Congress still retains the right to interefere in specific areas.

Králowec underground rail system was constructed in 1910 as a second of its kind in all of Morrawia.

During the Great War, city was center of ship building and army training with the strategic protected location. National Mall, decorated park in the Federal Circle contains a National Great War Memorial, built in 1920, commemorating fallen Morrawian soldiers.

20th century and 21st century (1911-present)

The result of the 1968 Králowec riots, escalated by years of race tensions in the country.

After the war, an expansion of federal employees in the city accelerated throughout the whole century. In 1922, 1928 and 1930, the city witnissed 3 public lynching/riot events targetting mainly foreigners and minorities, mainly Black Morrawians, fueled mainly by the political climate of the time. Later investigations in the 1970s found the connection between the RPP and the lynching events.

The latter decade saw the only decline in population of Králowec in the 20th century, with over 400,000 leaving, mainly as a result of the political climate.

Králowec was increasingly viewed as frontrunner for social change in the country and various protests in history always organized in Králowec, due to its status as a seat of government. Between the 1940s and the 1960s, the city underwent beautification transformation, separated from the one a century earlier. 1960 were a turbulent decade for the country politically and socially. First, 1964 Morrawian coup attempt threw the city and the whole country into chaos, when the organized group of far-right sympathizers, former RPP members and armed forces officials tried to overthrow the federal government, seeing it as "foreign-bought" and "anti-Morrawian". Almost 3000 people died in the few days of the event, though ultimately, the coup was unsuccessful.

Just four year later, 1968 race riots saw the height of race tensions in the country, destroying vast parts of the city's eastern districts. The subsequent legislations against discrimination and for racial equality had the effect of largely ending these unrests.

Králowec was hit hard by the 1972 Oil Crisis and the following years saw the massive budget increases for the public infrastructure and transportation The same decade saw the height of criminality in the city. In 1983 Králowec and Ambrunn were connected by the first high-speed rail line in Morrawia. Due to this, suburban sprawl hit a peak in 1989 and since than have decline in its enlargement.

2011 saw the series of bombings in the city, worst in the Morrawian history. Bombing occured in 2023 too, when Anaverese operatives detonated an explosive in the Forum Mall in downtown Králowec.

Since the late 18th century, Králowec has been famous for its restaurants and great cuisine, food meticulously prepared and artfully presented. A luxury restaurant, King´s Tavern, opened in 1786. Tt became a model for future Králowec restaurants. The restaurant Lesní zwėṙ dates from the same period. The famous Králowec restaurants of the 19th century, including the Králowecký zwon, U Ṙeky, Jiżní kawárna, Dúm U lékaṙe and the Ċerwenka, were mostly located near the theatres on the Imperial Boulevard (today´s Fallaine Avenue). Several of the best-known restaurants in Králowec today appeared during the 18th and 19th century, when the Empire of Morrawia was in decline internationally, however domestic progress was immense.

Today, owing to Králowec's cosmopolitan population, every Morrawian regional cuisine and almost every national cuisine in the world can be found there; the city has more than 9,000 restaurants. The Tambor Guide has been a standard guide to Morrawian restaurants since 1900, awarding its highest award, three stars, to the best restaurants in Morrawia.

Morrawia has several other kinds of traditional eating places. The café arrived in Králowec in the 17th century, and by the 18th century Králowec cafés were centres of the city's political and cultural life. The Kawárna Prokop on the left bank dates from this period. In the 20th century, the cafés of the left bank, especially Rotunda Café, King Wáclaw Café, New Café and Two Bears Café, all still in business, were important meeting places for painters, writers and philosophers.

Among the city's signature restaurants from the second half of the 20th cenutry is Jónúw koutek, located on Tomáṡ Luthérský Street since its founding in 1958. The restaurant rose to prominence as a peaceful escape during the violent 1968 race riots in the city.

Federal Congress interventions debate

Main article: Debate on Federal Congress intervention in Federal District affairs

F.D. enjoys most of the rights and privileges accorded to them. However, the Federal Congress retains certain powers to intervene in its affairs. This disparity in treatment has fueled a long-standing debate regarding the limitations placed on F.D.'s autonomy by the Morrawian government and accelerated movements advocating for less federal intervention.

Zdenėk Lázeṅský, F.D.'s mayor, took office in 2018.

Proponents of the current system argue that, due to its status as the seat of the federal government, F.D. requires special oversight. They maintain that unchecked local legislation could potentially obstruct the smooth functioning of national institutions. Opponents, however, view these interventions as an infringement on F.D.'s self-determination. They contend that the city's residents deserve the same level of autonomy as those in other states, and that the current system unfairly restricts their right to local governance.

Králowec has historically endured high crime, particularly violent offenses. The city was once described as the "murder capital" of Morrawia during the early 1970s. The number of murders peaked in 1972 at 563, but then began to decline, reaching an historic low of 73 in 2015, the lowest total since 1965. In 2016, the district's Metropolitan Police Department tallied 125 homicides. By 2019, citywide reports of both property and violent crimes declined from their most recent highs in the mid-1970s. However, both 2021 and 2022 saw over 200 homicides each, reflecting an upward trends from prior decades. In 2023, D.C. recorded 284 homicides, a 20-year high and the fifth-highest murder rate among the nation's largest cities. Many F.D. residents began to press the city government for refusing to prosecute nearly 70% of arrested offenders in 2022. After months of criticism, the rate of unprosecuted cases dropped to 56% by October 2023—albeit still higher than nine of the past 10 years and almost twice what it was in 2013. In February 2024, the Council of the Federal District of Králowec passed a major bill meant to reduce crime in the city by introducing harsher penalties for arrested offenders. Rising crime and gang activities contributed to some local businesses leaving the city.

According to a 2018 report, 57,000 residents are ex-convicts. An estimated 1,000–1,500 offenders return to the city from prison every year.

On June 26, 2008, the Council of State of Morrawia held in Federal District v. Ṡpaċek that the city's 1991 handgun ban did not violated the right to keep and bear arms as protected under the Sixth Amendment.

In addition to the Metropolitan Police Department, several federal law enforcement agencies have jurisdiction in the city, including the Federal Investigation Bureau, founded in 1905.
