Ba'nezilostoras-Galjerezayadoñora is the capital city of Burning Flame and the country's principle political, commercial, industrial and transportation centre.

The city has approximately 18.9 million inhabitants, making it the largest population centre in Burnging Flame by over 7 million. Ba'nezilostoras-Galjerezayadoñora originated at least as far back as the 4th Century CE (STS) as two settlements split by the Moraz Inlet. Ba'nezilostoras was the larger and had the biggest harbour, and sprawled the eastern bank, while Galjerezayadoñora held access to the key agricultural plains in the Kejim Peninsular, just to the south east. The two settlements agreed to amalgamate on 1 October 1458(STS), but remained small in size and significance until the discovery of important resources in the nearby hills, causing the population to rise dramatically, and the small sheltered fishing harbour was soon turned into a bustling port. It remained important during the time of the Sultanate, when the country was still known as Burgermeister, but it's full importance was not realised until it was named capital of the reformed Burning Flame, on 17th May 2032.

Due to the city's long and complicated name, Ba'nezilostoras-Galjerezayadoñora is commonly shortened. Of these shorter names, the most widely used, by far, is "B'NGY". Although initially used just to represent the city's name when it appears on documents, maps and road signs, people have begun to refer to the city by this shortened name in everyday speech. A popular Flamish pronunciation sounds like "Ba'negaya". It has been motioned twice in the Flamish parliament for "Ba'negaya" to be an officially recognised alternative name for Ba'nezilostoras-Galjerezayadoñora, but these have been denied due to the historical and cultural significance of the original name. "Ba'negaya" has become a de facto alternative name however.

Non-Flamish have taken to refer to the city by "B'NGY" as well. In Zlevic the city is often called "Bengya". Outside the Soviet Union, the phonetic pronunciation of "B'NGY" has led many to call it "Bunggie", which has become the internationally renowned dimunitive name for the city.
