It was the main city of this country during its revolution from England. It contains the first hospital and zoo and is central to the surrounding areas.
And the culture there is incredible. There are museums for art and sciences and for children. Then there are these stadiums where sports are played where thousands can go at once. The bridges are beautiful, too. There are parks and mountains not very far from the main city.
If you could see it, you'd understand far better than how I'm explaining it. It's a rather large place but it feels intimate at the same time.
