Kinadica, formally the Federal Capital District of Kinadica, is the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Rajyaghar. It is located along the north-western coastline of Rajyaghar within the Bay of Shakti. The city was named for its location, being along the coast, by its founders the Sirasikar family. The Sirasikar family was an aristocratic family who wielded significant influence in the Rajana Dynasty. As the seat of the Rajyani federal government, largest national city and economic hub, the city is a regional capital for economics and politics.
The city was founded in 23 CE by the wealthy, aristocratic and military family, the Sirasikars. Over the next several centuries, the family would embed itself at the heart of the Rajana Dynasty, occupying the positions of military officers and senior bureaucrats. After the fall of Kismat in 800 CE and the subsequent collapse of the Rajana Dynasty Empire, Prince Prashant, the last remaining member of the Rajana Dynasty, was brought to Kinadica by his loyal General Sunder Sirasikar. Sirasikar would offer the city to the young prince who would use it as his capital for the new Sanyukti Confederacy (later Empire). During the Second Andhara, Kinadica would be bombarded by the Etrurian Navy, devastating and destroying the majority of the city. When Sanyukt surrendered in 1840, the city had lost half of its population and was in complete ruin. The new colonial regime would make Kinadica the capital of Satria Etruriana, demolishing most of the ancient city and rebuilding it as a planned city, using the rebuilding as a propaganda tool to show the wealth, architectural prowes and ability of Etruria. Following independence in 1946, due to its economic and political supremacy, it was made the capital of the newly independent Kingdom of Rajyaghar. To ensure that the capital would not be associated with any one Union State, the city was turned into a Federal District and the second largest city of Sanyukt, Kentola, was made the new capital of the Union State of Sanyukt. Today, the cities of Kinadica, Kentola and Kakhara have urbanised to the extent that they now form an urban agglomeration known as Kakeki
Kinadica is governed by a Mayor-Council style government with the Mayor of Kinadica serving as the executive head of the city government, reporting to the Kinadica City Council which acts as the legislature of the city. The City's police service (Capital Police) is led by the Police Commissioner who is nominated by the Major and confirmed by the Council. The ceremonial head of the federal district is the Governor who has, by Royal Warrant, been the head of the Sarisikar family since 815 CE.
