Yuuvei
Yuuvei, officially the Metropolitan State of Yuune and Zhavei, is the capital and largest metropolitan region of the Nautical Peace with more than 59 million inhabitants. The metropolis is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Pavala, with its most ancient buildings dating back to 7,000 Y. Located on the Imperial Plain, it is shielded from harsh circumpolar wind and water currents by the Steaming Mountains. Nevertheless, it experiences torrential amounts of rainfall during the year, earning it the nickname Petrichor City. The city has been the political center of Unuvun for many thousands of years, and has long dominated the economy, culture, and transportation around the island due to its central location.
The ward of Zhavei houses the imperial throne and parliament, while the imperial court is located in Ifa on the shore of the Pacific Lake. Also located on the Pacific Lake is Yuune, whose Lakeside Row has long been synonymous with Unuvunese banking. In recent decades, Lucky Cat has become the center of the Unuvunese tech sector thanks to the wealth of universities nearby. On the northern end of the metropolis, along the shore of the Midland Sea, lies the special city of Bitter Side which handles much of the sea trade of the metropolis, as well as being one of the Nautical Peace's major biotech centers.
