Billopec (or New Billopec) is the capital of Billopesha, its the largest city in Billopesha, and the second largest city of The Confederates. It is a major political and financial centre, which has made it the most important cities of The Confederates.

It was built in 257BC and was originally a suburbanised village outside Old Billopec called Villupec (meaning ‘small estate of people’). When Old Billopec was sacked by the Hontockain army in 168BC during the Honto-Billopeshian War, the remaining population fled to Villupec and after the war, it was renamed New Billopec. Lemenatarus The Great built a new Emperor’s Palace to replace the old King’s Palace along with a grand statue of him and a new Grand Market. The Grand Market is the largest shopping centre of The Confederates and has been a major base of trade for over two millennia. It still stands today as one of the only cities to have kept most of it’s original buildings which made it hard to construct a road system. Therefore, cars have to be parked in massive multistorey car parks outside the city causing big businesses to have their offices on the outskirts of the city. Although, there is a road running through the industrial zone in the centre called ‘The Great Billopec Road’.

Billopec is the centre for the Silvereye which is based at the ‘Grand Stage of Politics’ and has two large historic monasteries which shows the Christian majority. The city is not multi-cultural and is in fact a prime example of the Billopeshian culture. Billopec lies beneath the single mountain of Mt. Orbi which is the largest of The Confederates. It poses a threat to the city as it is susepctable to avalanches but large stone barriers have been built to dramatically decrease the risk.
