Orajioe (Hoterallian: おらじょえ, Orajioe), officially the Orajioe Metropolis or Orajioe City (Hoterallian: おらじょえ都, Orajioe-to), is the capital and most populous prefecture of Hoterallia. Located in the Hawata region, near the Neil Strait, the prefecture forms part of the Hawata region on the Kuchibashi Peninsular.

Originally a fishing village, named Minatai, the city became a prominent political center in 1377, when it became the seat of the falling Hosu Taichimate at the beginning First Unification War of Hoterallia. By the mid-18th century, Minatai was one of the most populous cities in Anteria at over one million. Following the ratification of the Hojo Constitution, the imperial capital in Gerkoller remained as a Royal Capital, while Minatai became the new national capital and was renamed "Orajioe" (Orajioe is the Common language version of the name). Orajioe was devastated by the 1890 Great Hawata Earthquake and again by People's Revolutionary Council of Hoterallia during the Second Reunification War of Hoterallia.
