Description
Dinas Ymerodraeth (DEE-nas eh-MEHR-oh-droyth) (population 20,000) is the capital city of the Celtic Empire. Situated on the eastern coast of Ynys Ymerodrol on a natural harbor surrounded by tall cliffs, it was originally the small town of Duboglas, the city was once the capital of the Kingdom of Manaw, a client state of the Empire which was integrated directly into it in the mid 300s. Following the conquest of Eiru, the town was rebuilt into a new capital city by Angrona I to be situated between the two halves of the Empire. Since then, it has grown as a major hub of trade and shipping for the Celtic Sea, as well as growing from the presence of many of the Empire's wealthiest citizens. Nominally governed directly by the Emperor or Empress, the city's day-to-day governance is handled by a twelve-person City Council.

Not the Empire's largest city by area or population, the city is nonetheless renown for its high levels of development, with paved streets throughout all parts of the city and a city-wide underground sewage system. Many areas also have running water, provided by the many fountains placed throughout the city, and its streets are lit at night by lamps managed by the city government. Dinas Ymerodraeth is also famous for its many parks, ranging from areas the size of city blocks to small pockets of green scattered throughout the city, while many of its major streets are also lined with trees. Many buildings in the city are constructed from white stone or are whitewashed, giving the city the nickname "The White City", though it is more commonly called "The Imperial City".

As the capital of one of Europe's great powers, Dinas Ymerodraeth is intentionally built up by the government to be a model city for the entire Empire as well as Europe at large. Security is provided at all times by the Green Guard, a force of 400 men and women who keep order in the city. The rise of the railroads has also seen the rise of new "tramways" along many major thoroughfares, where horses pull carriages to transport men and women for a nominal fee. It is also kept clean and kept up by an army of civil servants who repair roads, manage plumbing, tend to the greenery, and even sweep the streets on a regular basis. It should be noted that all of these are luxuries unseen in many of the Empire's other major cities, though this is largely a way to "present a good face" to foreign diplomats and ambassadors.
