Xiongjing

Xiongjing, officially the Glorious City of Xiongjing, Magnificent Capital of the Great Bai Empire, is the capital city of the Bai Empire. Located in the centre of the Empire's northern region, it borders the Yinxue Province to the north and west, Baokuang Province to the northeast, Fan'an to the southeast and Dong'an to the south. The seat of the Bai federal government and His Majesty the Bai Emperor, it is one of the largest and most populous cities of the Empire.

The city was founded and constructed on the Xiongjing Plateau in 1822, during the reign of the Late Guangzhi Emperor. Since its establishment as the new capital of the Middle Bai Dynasty, the capital became the Empire's cultural, political, economic and educational centre. Xiongjing was devastated by an earthquake in 1902, and again by air raids and the Battle of Xiongjing that concluded the War of Fellow Brothers. During the Warlord Era, the Central Clique attempted to rebuild and develop the capital with limited success. In the final phases of the Eastern Expedition, Yu Zeming's forces peacefully seized control of the capital. Under the New Bai Dynasty, the city underwent rapid reconstruction and expansion, going on to lead the Empire's post-war economic recovery in the 80s and 90s.

Having one of the largest urban economy in the world, Xiongjing hosts the headquarters of many largest state-owned national companies and houses various prominent global companies. It is also a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks and is served by an extensive metro system – the Xiongjing Metro. Various airports serve the capital, with Xiongjing Regent Airport handling most of the air traffic to the capital.
