What does your capital city look like?

[Nation States Cayo]

(I will go in Cities: Skylines for the photo)

So I will talk for now.
The city of South Naranja is not a “future city”. Since the government over-protects wildlife, the city also has many parks around. Though skyscrapers dominate the city center, there are still many 2-storey houses. Since the city is on the coast, it is also a thriving port.

[Lescaaris]

A bit smaller than its largest city, Sogni Scintillanti is a modernized place of tall buildings and sometimes skyscrapers. It's most famous for the canal systems and rivers that nearly divide the city, cutting up the streets like blades.

[International Communist States]

Our capital city is London. Imagine an alt-London with less shiny corporate buildings and more concrete urban brutalism like the Barbican Complex. We never had WW1 or WW2 in this world, but conversely, the Wars of Revolution were quite messy and we've also been demolishing/replacing/reimagining a lot of older buildings since the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s

[The Hazar Amisnery]

A traditional European city with a modern skyscraper core and soviet era apartments.

[Pirusavia]

A mix of Kutaisi (Georgia), Yerevan (Armenia), Prague (Czechia), and Belgrade (Serbia) in the late 1970s. Classical, Gothic, and Traditional buildings are commonly seen in the Old City Centre, whereas modernist buildings, skyscrapers, and newly built, sometimes Brutalist apartment blocks are much more prominent in the New City which was built following WWII.

Roads in the Old City still use bricks, while the roads in the New City were asphalted. Electric trams and trolleybuses are very common. While most people prefer using public transports, car ownership is still very popular, and the streets are still busy with public vehicles, personal cars, and trucks. Scooters are also very popular in the city.

To the West of the city, a spectacular view of Mt. Pelgun, the tallest mountain in the country, could be seen.

Despite my best efforts, no way to post an image that I see. It's an imgur image & everything. I use Paris.

Ok so I am back and below is the photo. The name of the city is Seadale. But South Naranja looks something like that

[Vrine]

Note: this has been changed.

The capital of vrine is vrinea, the largest city and the capital. The V house, (City centre) and Z house (The government house) are both to been seen by tourists all around the world to see this feat.

[Countesia]

Urbem City, the political and economic hub of the Federal Republic of Countesia.
Home to 19.3 million people in the city proper and 33.4 million with the addition of its surrounding metropolitan area, it is the largest city in the nation.

[Ahkara]

Mahane, in Thasele Prefecture. Home to around 5 million people, it is both the capital and largest city of the country.

[Gonswanza]

Given it is an underground complex, there's scant photos (if any at all) though it is effectively a giant "dome" with a simulated day/night cycle, having buildings meant for administration and governance, plus residencies and smaller tunnels leading to deep bunkers for continuity of government. There's also carbon scrubbers and a nuclear power plant using modular reactors, plus a desalination plant and hydroponics facilities along with a sewage treatment plant, all tucked away in an isolated area.

The pseudo-capital is Jaktoo, which resembles a rather modern city, more akin to Denver, Colorado. Image for reference.

[Cosnicu]

(I couldn't find, nor do I have art of Cosnicu's capitol city at the moment) cosnicu's capitol city is an artificial island constructed to cultivate an inclusive society that seeks to develop upon itself. The capitol building, referred to most as "the tet" or the tetrahedron, houses political offices, the governing body meeting houses, tourist sites, and conference rooms. It however, lacks any housing outside of the speakers's apartments. (There are four, as the speaker of diplomatic affairs is meant to reside among the embassies, consulates and other diplomatic offices) the tetrahedron slowly rotates upon its base and WIP

[Paris Saint-Germain]

Basically what Doha is like, only more glorious and bigger.

[Nomayuki]

It is situated on the place of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, called "Nanka". It has tons of skyscrapers (one of them will be 2989m tall, under construction), situated around the Nanka bay, with many mountains near it.

[Estado de Tropico]

San Jorge is the Capital and Second-Largest City. It was purposely developed as a neutral center of government between the largest city, San Anselmo, and the birthplace of the independence movement, Vigo. It is notable for its white marble buildings in classical architecture styles.

[Ko-oren]

We have four capitals, which are quite close together. All have a population of just under a million, three of them are coastal. These three have modest ports. All have tremendous public transport, running through the Government (central) district, more remote Embassy districts, the business districts often located alongside the ports, and the compact residential neighbourhoods. All have a backdrop of the Western mountains - on a clear day.

[Imperial States of Duotona]

Our capital city of St. Hubert looks quite modern, but also keeps it's center around historical landmarks, such as Hightop Palace (the home of the old Duotonan royal family until 1801). It also has quite a coastal location, due to the original settlers of the land needing an easy water supply.

This picture of Belgrade, Serbia is a good fit:

[Dyrrhonian Isles]

Rhamnasis looks like a place in an old-fashioned book, a picture perfect blend of old-world elegance with the technocratic, big-government spirit of an early 20th century metropolis.

[Great Britain and South Ireland]

My City kinda looks like London, but with more Neo-soviet style buildings, historical buildings, and old abandoned buildings of a bygone era of capitalism

[Hywakwa]

The Hywakwan capital city, Nyyvenda'balirh looks like a combination between Tokyo, Seoul, Astana and Istanbul.

[Archbasilica]

True to its namesake, Archbasilica builds and maintains large or elaborately monolithic temples and basilicas to display its orthodoxy and devotion. Though it has no capital, all cities have an religious megastructures, with smaller, albeit equally impressive, structures found in towns and villages. Interestingly, no perimeter or defensive walls are built, largely due to Archbasilica’s pacifist mindset, and partly due to the lack of a standing army.

Beyond the monoliths, Archbasilican architecture is traditional and conservative, untainted by the lack automobiles, airports, and smokestacks. There are no streets/highways in Archbasilican infrastructure and settlement - it’s either pedestrians or maglevs. Residential areas are always organic to the proximity of a commercial or industrial zone, allowing people to be within walking distance of work, public transit, medical help, recreation, etc.

[Wochaystein]

...Zuidren is conisdered scenic like the European settings of rom-coms: chaotic and not organized in quadrants.

[Altnavia]

New South Naranja. Population at 32 million.



(Yes, it is Cities: Skylines and the city’s actual population is 80 thousand.)

[Skivaya]

Skarpit (pron. skar-peet), capital and largest city of Skivaya, has some 4.7 million inhabitants and is the centre of the country in almost every sense: economic, cultural, political. Home to 45% of the nation's population, it's generally the first part of the country that tourists and visitors see, and thus by comparison with the pristine beaches and rainforests Skivaya is known for has somewhat of a reputation for being crowded, dirty and noisy, or alternatively possessing a vibrant nightlife and great restaurants and so on. Much of the city occupies a curving bay at the extreme southeastern end of the island of Skiva Minor, bounded to the east by 1,100-metre extinct volcano Sharnikia (perhaps best visited via cable car) and to the west by the flat, fertile plains surrounding Vulkan Lena, the 2,721-metre active volcano that is the second-highest point in the country.

More details to come. I've generally used a real (and fairly recogniseable) city for reference images for this.
