Natlia is part of Nagidan, which is a special state with only one prefecture of the same name.

Natlia (/nat.li.a/, Lithian: natlА 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.

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.

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, Dinel and L-pop.

Etymology

The name, Natlia, comes from the Lithian words, Natlan "Sun" and Fia "of", literally "of the Sun". It indirectly means "sunrise city", given its geographical location with the east being mostly sea (Gulf of Sharkunen). The city itself is also named as such to reflect the progress of Natlia in general, being the "rising sun".
