Quebec City is the national capital of the Royal Kingdom of Quebec, the capital of the National Capital Region, and the site of the seat of the Royal House of Jeongs. It has an area of 108 square kilometres and a population of 4,850,000 residents within the city, making Quebec City the 2nd largest city in Royal Kingdom of Quebec. Quebec City forms the centre and headquarters of the Capitale-Nationale, or National Capital Region, which has an area of 10,500 square kilometres and a population of 7,650,600, comprising roughly 12.33 percent of the Quebecois population. Built under the orders of the Koreana Fleet, Quebec City has been the Kingdom's (and Quebecois Empire's, in turn as well) capital since its inception in 1406. By the mid 18th century, Quebec City was one of Atlantian Oceania's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts, and it retains that position to modern times.

Cut by the narrowing of the Fleuve St-Laurent, National Capital Region stretches on both sides of the St. Lawrence River, which divides the immediate vicinity of Quebec City into two parts: Kebec, an area which is now part of Vieux-Quebec named by an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows", and Lévis, the neighbouring city known for its industrial and residential presence. The city proper and national capital region are built around the twin cities that extend well beyond its administrative limits.
