'''Samistopol''' ({{wp|Rusyn language|Soravian}}: Самістополь; ''Samistopol'') is the capital and largest city of the [[Soravia|Soravian Republic]]. With a total metropolitan population of over ten million people, is it both the largest city in Soravia and Euclea by population and largest in Soravia by metropolitan area, at 4,981 square kilometres. The city sits on the Bay of Lipa and is one of few cities of its size not settled on a river. Samistopol has a strong tourist industry owing to its character as a popular tourist destination. Characterised by its unique and diverse selection of architectural styles, including baroque, gothic and art nouveau, Samistopol is renowned for its urban beauty and is often ranked among the nicest cities in Euclea.
'''Samistopol''' ({{wp|Rusyn language|Soravian}}: Самістополь; ''Samistopol'') is the capital and largest city of the [[Soravia|Soravian Republic]]. With a {{wp|metropolitan area|total metropolitan population}} of over 19 million people, is it the [[Soravia#Major cities|largest city in Soravia]] and the largest in [[Euclea]] by population and largest in Soravia by metropolitan area, at 11,928 square kilometres.  
 
The city was first settled around the 8th century, but grew rapidly during the colonisation of [[Asteria Superior]], where it served as Soravia's main port. By the 18th century, Samistopol was Soravia's most-populated city, but administration remained in the traditional royal capital of [[Patovatra]]. After the [[Soravian Revolution]], Samistopol was declared as the country's new capital, and has grown rapidly since then. Samistopol's city boundaries were first consolidated in the 1930s, and it was granted national city status in the 1983 reforms of Soravia's administrative divisions.


Samistopol was first settled in the 10th century and given city status as a northern naval outpost for the Duchy of Pavatria. With a wealthy source of fish from the Bay of Lipa and Perovo Sea, Samistopol grew quickly in wealth and influence, rivalling that of [[Patovatra]], the duchy's capital. As Soravia unified, Samistopol was selected as the capital city for its strategic defensive position and now encompassing size compared to other cities of its calibre. As Soravia expanded, both in Euclea and colonially, many settlers travelled to Samistopol to live, quickly expanding the city's population and size. Samistopol was one of Euclea's fastest growing cities in the 19th century and was the fastest growing in western Euclea. The city suffered minimal damage during the [[First Soravian Civil War]] and [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], preserving much of its original architecture. To the modern-day, Samistopol is still consistently ranked as one of the most influential cities in Euclea.
Samistopol houses the [[Duma (Soravia)|Duma]] and [[Voynaskul]], the upper and lower houses of the Soravian legislature. The [[President of Soravia]] is also based on [[Soravia|Marinin Prospekt]] within the city. Samistopol is subdivided into many ''{{wp|raion|raions}}'', which form the basis for local government and elections. The city is governed by the [[Soravia|Samistopol City Council]], which itself is headed by the {{wp|Mayor}}, considered to be one of the country's prestigious offices.  


Samistopol's architecture has inspired many other cities, including those in Soravia, Euclea, and abroad. It's noted "Samistopolitan" style of city planning was one of the first cities in Euclea that employed extensive {{wp|urban park|urban greening}}, with many parks opened in Samistopol by the rulers of Soravia. Outside of city planning and architecture, Samistopol is known for its vibrant night scene, universities, museums and restaurants, and is one of western Euclea's cultural capitals. Important political institutions such as the [[Voynaskul]] and [[Duma (Soravia)|Duma]] are also located in Samistopol.
Samistopol lies on the peninsula of the same name, and is bisected by the [[Soravia|River Kryuk]]. The city is very flat, with its highest point at the top of the [[Soravia|Samistopol Dytynets]], which overlooks the city. Samistopol is a {{wp|megacity}} and one of the world's cultural and financial centres. Its urban GDP of €507 billion is one of the largest in Euclea. New developments such as the [[Seiresk|Seiresk Finance Centre]] and [[Soravia|Technology City Karavayevo]] often serve as headquarters for large Soravian companies or multinational conglomerates. Samistopol contains the most {{wp|skyscrapers}} of any city in Euclea.
