Laitstadt borders the state of Metakumburg in the south and easr. The city is one of the largest cities in Nortua. The Leina river runs through the city.

Laitstadt, which was founded in 1708, has been one of the most important centers in the Besmenian language area since the late 18th century. Laitstadt belonged to the Nortuan Union for a long time and was the capital of Heulania, an area which, in contrast to the rest of the Nortuan Union, had a very large majority of Besmenian speakers. Between February and July 1850, both sides fought in Laitstadt during the Besmenian-Tinegardian War, which destroyed about half of the city. In 1850 Laitstadt was incorporated into the Kingdom of Besmenia and remained the capital of Heulania until 1866. After the dissolution of Heulania as a result of the 1866 Besmenian territorial reform, Laitstadt became the capital of Metakumburg. In 1918, Metakumburg was one of the provinces that broke away from the Kingdom of Besmenia and formed the Confederation of East Besmenian States, along with Summingia, Gablitz, Neidenstein, Trissia and Sulzburg, with Laitstadt as the provisional seat of government. When the Federal Republic of Besmenia was founded after the Besmenian Civil War in 1920, Laitstadt became the official capital. As the federal capital, Laitstadt has developed into an important business location and metropolis of East Besmenia since the late 1920s. Since 1967, Laitstadt has been the capital of the reunified Besmenia and thus for the first time the capital of an all-Besmenian state. In 1989, Laitstadt became the headquarters of the Alliance of Nortuan States.

History

Before 1850

Kingdom of Besmenia

Captital of East Besmenia

Capital of the reunited Besmenia

With the accession of West Besmenia to the Federal Republic of Besmenia in September 1967, Laitstadt became the capital of the reunified Besmenia. Shortly after the reunification, a conflict of interest arose over the capital issue of the new reunited Besmenia. Many West Besmenians wanted Melmingen to be the capital of reunited Besmenia, as Melmingen was the capital prior to the division of Besmenia. As a result, a referendum was held in January 1968, in which voters could decide whether the seat of government should be moved to Melmingen or remain in Laitstadt. The majority voted to remain in Laitstadt.
