Ljochstéd

Ljochstêd [/ljɔxt'stɛ:t/] is the de facto capital of Vilzland and the most populous city in Vilzland at over 4,000,000 people. The nation of Vilzland does not actually have a de jure capital. It is part of the Greater Ljochstéd region, which encompasses the city and parts of its outskirt surroundings. It is the only city to not be part of a conventional province, therefore not being ran by a Provincial Governor, however it still elects a Mayor.

Etymology
The etymology of the title "Ljochstêd" stems from old frisian "Light" and "city." This was on account of the natural population of fireflies which covered the plains surrounding the River Frije.
