Maimedo (maɪmɛdəʊ; Esonian: 橙水, maimɛdɔ), also semi-officially known as Maikyo (maɪkiəʊ; Esonian: 橙京, maikʲoː), officially the Capital City of Maimedo is the national capital and largest city in Esonice with an estimated population of 992,351. The metropolitan area which includes an estimated population of 3,129,121 brings the greater city’s metropolitan population to 4,121,472 inhabitants. For nearly a millennia since the 12th century, Maimedo was and continues to be Esonice’s beating political and cultural heart. It’s a centre of traditional and modern Esonian fashion, cuisine, literature and art. It’s also an important centre of finance and commerce in the nation. Because of its many orange terracotta and clay tile ladenned roofs including copper coloured limestone buildings, Maimedo became known in Esonian poetic literature as the “Orange City”, hence its nickname.

Maimedo is tied with Marusonya on the highest standard of living in Esonice, however it's beaten by Marusonya in quality of life, coming in second though still closely behind.
