Porto Pellegrini officially the City of Porto Pellegrini (Vespasian: Comune di Porto Pellegrini), also known as Pellegrini is the capital city of the Adamantine Republic. With a 2020 population of 3,348,094 distributed over 325 square kilometers (125 sq mi), Porto Pellegrini is the most densely populated major city in Adamantina. Located on the west bank of the Pellegrini River, which forms the border between the Federal District of Pellegrini and the province of Prosperita, the city is the center of the Porto Pellegrini metropolitian area, the largest metropolitan area in the country. With over 9.4 million people in its unified statistical area, Porto Pellegrini is the urban anchor for approximately thirty percent of the nation's total population. Porto Pellegrini has been described as the political, cultural, financial and media capital of Adamantina.
Established as a planned city in 1865, it was named Pellegrini, a Vespasian word for "foreigner" as the city was meant to be the entry point and primary settlement for immigrants entering the nation during the era of mass immigration. The former settlements of Almeiveira, Camporaele and Paremunde were razed and reestablished as neighborhoods within the planned city. The government relocated the capital to Porto Pellegrini from Sarro City in 1862. By 1870 the population had grown significantly, and the expansion of immigration population led to a series of nativist riots that caused the Great Porto Pellegrini Fire, destroying several square miles and left more than 150,000 homeless. During reconstruction of the city, the local government enacted the nation's first segregation ordinances. Porto Pellegrini made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards not sense elsewhere in Asteria Inferior throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Porto Pellegrini is the center of the nations meat packing industry, processing and packaging nearly 80% of all exported cattle, pigs and poultry originating from Adamantine farms. It is the site of the nation's stock market and derivatives market; the Porto Pellegrini Stock Exchange (PPST) and the Porto Pellegrini Board of Trade (PPBT). Its metropolitan area has the largest number of federal highways, and the highest density of railroad track in the nation. It is connected to international trade through its seaport; the Port of Pellegrini and Prosperita. Antonio Malito International Airport, is the nation's busiest airport.
