Saint Constantinopolis (Greek: Ἁγία Κωνσταντινούπολις, tr. Aghía Konstantinúpolis;), also known as St. Constantinople or New Rethymnon (Greek: Νέον Ῥέθυμνον, tr. Néon Réþimnon;) is the capital and largest city of the Rethymnian Empire. The city is a major political, economic, cultural and scientific center in Rethymnon and in planet Aeolis. St. Constantinople is the largest city on the planet, and it has been ranked as the most expensive city in Aeolis and is one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha+++ global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. St. Constantinople is the largest amongst high income economies. It is home to the Shard, the tallest skyscraper in Lention and in Aeolis in general and the Rethymnon Tower. It is the largest city in Rethymnon, with a population of 731,000,000 (2540).

St. Constantinople is situated by the Rethymnian Bay in the Province of Rethymnon. The city is well known for its unique architecture which consists of many skyscrapers and high rise apartments. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Lention and Aeolis, boasting an incredible amount of parks and green areas along streets, skyways and paved walkways. In the course of its history the city has served as the capital of a progression of governments, from the first imperial government under the House of Aidonakis, to the federal government set up by Damianos Asikrates to the second imperial days of the present, under the House of Monomachos. St. Constantinople is considered to be the center of Rethymnian culture, having served as the home of prestigious Rethymnian artists, scientists and sports figures during the course of its history and because of the presence of many different museums, academic and political institutions and theaters. St. Constantinople is also the seat of power of the Government of Rethymnon, being the site of the Imperial Government, housed in The Shard, the tallest building in the city. The Shard and the Imperial Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both Houses of the Rethymnian Imperial parliament (the House of Commons and the Imperial Senate) also sit in within the city.

The city is served by an extensive transit network, which includes two international spaceports, nine hyperrail terminals, numerous trams and one of the deepest underground metro systems in the planet.

Over time, St. Constantinople has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The glorious (Ἡ Δοξασμένη), The shining city (Ἡ λαμπερή), The Queen of Cities (Ἡ Βασιλεύουσα) and The First City (Ἡ Πρωτεύουσα). The demonym for a St. Constantinople resident is "Ἁγιοκωνσταντινοπολίτης" (Haghioconstantinopolítis), rendered in English as Saint Constantinopolitan.
