Comprising approximately a quarter of the country's entire population, Gonece is Dahemia's primate city and the sixth-largest city in the Notgerman-speaking world, after X. Generally considered to lie at the cultural, geographic and economic crossroads of Calesia, it is situated X km (X mi) by road from X, X km (X mi) from X, and X km (X mi) from X.
Since the Great War, the global city has been a major center for international politics and diplomacy. Gonece is the de facto main seat of the United Congress (alongside X) as well as several other intergovernmental organizations, such as the Central Commission for the Lonane, the International Human Rights Council, and X, most of these located in the Zollhafen district.
Major attractions of the city include the Bendlerberg (main square), Old Castle, Royal Palace on Castle Square, the Georgsstadt central business district skyline, the Weserath Gate, and the Victory Column. The urban landscape is shaped in part by extensive parks and green areas, including the Hofgarten, Wallanlagen, the Zitadellenpark surrounding the Donnerberg hill and the Gonece Citadel, the Volkspark, the Zoologischer Garten, and two botanical gardens (the Old Botanical Garden and the Palmengarten).
