Volkgoroda (Laiatainese: Волкгорода tr. Volkgoroda) is the capital and most populous city of the Laiatanese Federation, with 3.81 million residents within the city limits and 5.51 million within the urban area.
Volkgoroda is settled between the Mahigan and Volk rivers, as well as on the banks of Lake Mahi. The city is located in every raion in the Volkgoroda Capital Territory, though it does not fall under raion authority since it is considered an independent city. However, the city's suburbs do.
Volkgoroda is the seat of the Laiatanese federal government, housing the President of Laiatan within the Presidential Palace. Both chambers of the Federation Assembly (the Federal Council and the People's Council) and the Supreme Federal Court also sit in the city. Volkgoroda is considered the center of Laiatanese culture, having served as the home of Laiatanese artists, scientists, and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions, and theaters.
The city is served by a transit network which includes an international airport, four railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Volkgoroda Metro. It is recognized as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its nearly 120 stations.
Historically, Volkgoroda has been a political center since the Mahigan Kingdom arose in 365. Founded at some point before 320, the city grew in economic and political importance thanks to its situation between two major rivers and a lake. It would go on to be the capital of the Kingdom of Laiatan, the Laiatanese Empire, and finally the Laiatanese Federation.
