Albertirsa (Ruvelkan Script: Űiũīḻṻíṷ) is a closed city in the Aszód District on Ruvelka’s border with Syara. It was founded in 1951 CE in the wake of the Siduri War as a fortress city before eventually becoming a joint Imperial Army, Imperial Air Force, and Imperial Fusiliers operating base. Entry into the city is highly restricted; foreign citizens are not allowed within the city’s limits and only Ruvelkan citizens with authorization are permitted. With a population of 100,313, Albertirsa is currently the largest of Ruvelka’s closed cities.
During the Zemplen War, Albertirsa was an important strategic target for Syaran forces. Much of the non-essential personnel of Albertirsa were evacuated east at the onset of the conflict. The location of the city—surrounded by rough terrain and heavy forests—made it a difficult target and allowed the military personnel based there to put up a fierce defense in the early months of the war.
