'''Natlia''' (/nat.li.a/, [[Lithian]]: <small>{{cs|LHN|natlА}}</small> ''Natlia'') is a capital and the most populous city located at the southern region of [[Lugida]], at the [[Nagidan]] metropolitan state whose urban agglomeration is one of the largest on Sahar with the population of around 24 million.
'''Nataliya''' ({{small|[[Lithian]]:}} [natalija]), officially the '''Nataliya Metropolis''', is the capital city of [[Lugida]]. Additionally as the country's capital prefecture, the core urban area is home to 11.6 million people (2016), the largest in Lugida and 3rd largest in [[Soltenna]]. It is located on the eastern foothills of [[Mount Lenthir]], , facing towards Nataliya Bay and the [[Gulf of Sharkunen|Sharkunen Gulf]]. Nataliya comprises the southern edge of the [[Heartland Lugida|Heartland region]] and is a part of the [[Midan]] metropolitan area whose urban agglomeration of 24 million people is one of the largest in the world.


Natlia's history can be traced back to the [[Letsatian Empire]] period, when it was constructed. The city then later grew to become one of Sahar's trading hubs, culminating as the chief capital of the Four Swords from the 14th century. However, Natlia went a period of decline following the fall of the Four Swords on 1731, and has suffered extensive damages from the [[Great Ekuosian War]]. The city later recovered and grew rapidly following the war.
Initially founded as a small [[Altha dynasty]]-era settlement, Nataliya was expanded into a city under [[Letsatian Empire|Letsatian rule]] in Lugida when extensive deposits of silver was found in the foothills west of the city. Avite Empire ruler Gathid, being of Natalian origin, proposed the city as the empire's new capital in 348 CE. The proposal, though implemented through development of infrastructure in Nataliya, fell out of favor of Avite clerics. Nataliya's surrounding geography kept the city untouched by war during the Warring States period in the 5th century. By the 10th century the city had become a powerful naval city-state who maintain trade routes in and out of the [[Amiyant Sea]] and along the Gulf.


Today, Natlia is a global city, with the largest metropolitan economy in [[Soltenna]], which has grown rapidly following the Lugid economic boom in the mid to late 20th century which contributed to the metropolitan area's large GDP of around $1 trillion. Natlia boasts as one of the leading technology, cultural, and tourism hubs of Sahar, being the headquarters of Lugid companies such as [[Wilith]] and [[Mitsetale]], as well as the home to Lugida's modern cultural icons, [[Peace Seeker|Dinel]] and [[L-pop]].
Combination of several factors such as the then recent Tori invasions of Lugida led to the founding of the [[Forian Confederation]] in the 10th century, initially consisting of four city-states across the southern Damire Sea. When the confederation merges to form the [[Forian Kingdom]] the royal families of constituent city-states chose Nataliya as their capital. During this time economic activity grew up to its historic highest in the 17th century, before declining after the Kingdom's dissolution on 1731. Nataliya is designated capital city of Lugida upon the formation of the Republic in 1868. Nataliya suffered from extensive damages during the [[Pangyeoun War]] due to Allied-led bombings and offensives. As the war ended the capital city later grew significantly throughout the Lugid post-war economic miracle.
 
Today, Nataliya is a global city with the largest metropolitan economy in [[Soltenna]]; its estimated metropolitan GDP reaches upwards of $800 billion. The city has one of the highest standards of living in the world, as well as one of the most expensive city for expatriates, stemming from the city's high population density and real estate value. Nataliya boasts a vibrant culture extending from Forian-era buildings at the [[Mite, Nataliya|Mite district]] to popular culture such as [[miko]] and [[L-pop]]{{spaced en dash}}which gave the city's nickname, "City of Sight and Sound". Nataliya hosts many large, global Lugid-based companies including entertainment agency [[Nasha Entertainment]], mass media company [[Deliat Media]], and conglomerate company [[Hanareth]], in addition to supranational institutions such as the [[Central Bank of Fordas]].


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The modern-day name, Natlia, comes from the [[Lithian]] words, Natlan "Sun" and Fia "of", which literally translates to "of the Sun". This name became the subject of metaphors, in which the name may indirectly mean either "the rising sun" or "the city of the sun". The meaning of "the rising sun" is the most publicly accepted alternate meaning of the "Natlia" name.
<!-- The name ''Nataliya'' comes from the [[Lithian]] words ''natal'' "Sun" with the addition of suffix ''-ia'' to mean "(city) of the Sun". According to common local belief, the name is interpreted as to mean ''the rising sun'' in reference to the city's location on the Lugid east coast. -->

==Architecture==
Traditional architecture of Natalia is heavily influenced by Ekuosian architecture, propagated through [[sermet]]s and later during the Forian period. At the time, buildings outside the walls of the Royal District (now [[Mite, Natalia]]) are generally wood-based, occasionally using concrete or brick as foundation. Conversely, the district has most{{spaced en dash}}if not all{{spaced en dash}}buildings brick-faced. Industrialization in the 19th century and the later bombings of Natalia led to a decline of wood-based buildings in Natalia particularly over concerns regarding its vulnerability to catch fire.


==Culture==
==Culture==
Natlia is one of the cities in Lugida whose primary cultural influence is [[Letsatian Empire|Letsatian]], instead of the traditional Lugid culture, which contains some degrees of [[Qonklaks|Qonklese]] influence. This is evident from the mainly-Letsatian architectural style of Natlia's old buildings, especially those from before 6th century CE, followed by the high presence of historical [[Iovism|Iovist]] and the later [[Avism|Avic]] temples within the city.
Natlia is historically known for its art, such as paintings and pottery, particularly during the time of the Four Swords from the 14th to 18th century CE. Much of Natlian art at the time pertains to Avism, [[Mount Lenthir]], and folktales from around the world. In the 1970s, Natlian art starts to diverge into many different artistic styles, as Natlian pop culture flourished as the result of Lugida's Natlia-centralized massive urbanization, industrialization, and post-war rebuilding.
The massive change in the Natlian lifestyle and culture during the post-war rebuilding, followed by the city's rather high civil liberties, turned the city into one of Sahar's prominent centers of pop culture, with the city being the origin of various Lugid world-renowned icons, such as the video gaming icon, [[Peace Seeker|Dinel]], and the musical icon, [[L-pop]].


==Economy==
==Economy==
Natlia is the business and financial hub of Lugida. Despite having only around 0.1 percent of Lugida's land area, Natlia and its metropolitan area of Nagidan compromises around 50 percent of Lugida's nominal GDP.
<!-- Natlia is the business and financial hub of Lugida. Despite having only around 0.1 percent of Lugida's land area, Natlia and its metropolitan area contributes to almost half of Lugida's nominal GDP. Service sector accounts for half of Natlian economy.


Natlia's massive economic growth began from the 1960s, when Lugida is recovering itself from the damages of the [[Great Ekuosian War]]. Rebuilding was centralized in Natlia, as large companies moved its headquarters into Natlia to take advantage of the better access to the government. This was followed by the implementation of Lugida's export-oriented economy and the construction of massive government-sponsored infrastructure projects, such as the Port of Natlia, in an effort to accommodate the economic growth and "reinstate Lugida's historical position as the world center of trade".
Natlia experienced a rapid rebuilding and economic growth from the 1960s, after sustaining severe damages from the [[Pangyeoun War]]. Centralization of economic growth to Natlia caused large Lugid companies to move to the city in order to take advantage of the city's better access to the government. Through centralization and Lugida's export-oriented economy, Natlia later went on to become Soltenna's international financial center since the late 1960s amidst competition with other Soltennan cities such as [[Bosato]] and [[Cuáma]].


This massive economic growth of Natlia made the city an emerging international financial center from the late 1960s. This prominence continued even with the emergence of competing financial centers in Soltenna such as [[Bosato]] and [[Cuáma]], although the Natlian and Lugid economy in general was partially severed during the economic downfalls in 1979 and 2005. However, given the high cost of living and population in the Nagidan area, this economic growth is slowing down, and other Lugid cities, particularly [[Kirni]] and [[Dalshabet]], began to replace Natlia's position in Lugida's prominent metropolitan economic growth.
The city's economic growth is challenged by increasing living costs, population density, and high real estate prices, thus inviting economic competition by other Lugid cities like [[Kirni]] and [[Dalshabet]]. -->

Nataliya (Lithian: [natalija]), officially the Nataliya Metropolis, is the capital city of Lugida. Additionally as the country's capital prefecture, the core urban area is home to 11.6 million people (2016), the largest in Lugida and 3rd largest in Soltenna. It is located on the eastern foothills of Mount Lenthir, , facing towards Nataliya Bay and the Sharkunen Gulf. Nataliya comprises the southern edge of the Heartland region and is a part of the Midan metropolitan area whose urban agglomeration of 24 million people is one of the largest in the world.

Initially founded as a small Altha dynasty-era settlement, Nataliya was expanded into a city under Letsatian rule in Lugida when extensive deposits of silver was found in the foothills west of the city. Avite Empire ruler Gathid, being of Natalian origin, proposed the city as the empire's new capital in 348 CE. The proposal, though implemented through development of infrastructure in Nataliya, fell out of favor of Avite clerics. Nataliya's surrounding geography kept the city untouched by war during the Warring States period in the 5th century. By the 10th century the city had become a powerful naval city-state who maintain trade routes in and out of the Amiyant Sea and along the Gulf.

Combination of several factors such as the then recent Tori invasions of Lugida led to the founding of the Forian Confederation in the 10th century, initially consisting of four city-states across the southern Damire Sea.
