Xi'an
From Xinda
Xi'an is the capital of the Caldari State. The original establishment of the city of Xi'an is rather unknown other than it was established during the rule of the Raata Empire, under Raata the Wise (Raata I). Over the ages, Xi'an was nothing more than backwater during the Imperial Presidency and the Democratic Plutocracy but once the civil war started and the Communist Coup against the Plutocracy, Xi'an rose to become the most important city once again. Xi'an is the People's Republics' largest construction project over less than time than during any other time period. The only other city to grow faster is that of Toro and New Saba in Sushiia. Few historic buildings of the Raata time period remain, the main example is the Imperial Palace in the direct center of the city, now occupied by the Supreme Overlord, Yakia Tovil-Toba.

[edit] The Wards
The Metropolis of Xi'an is made up of 23 special wards or prefectures which range from large residental zones to the busy commerical avenues of Downtown. Historically, each prefecture had one vote in the City Council but due to the Communist Takeover, each prefectures' votes are determined by the area's population and how many members of the Communist Party live in the confines of the Prefecure. These prefectures further split into districts.
