Kashmir is the capital city of Sabrateur. It is the largest and most populous city in the country, with a population of around 425 million. It is the seat of the Sabratese Parliament and place of residence of the Sabratese Monarchy.

The first city established by inaugural Sabratese king, Ranulph I, Kashmir is therefore the oldest settlement in Sabrateur. It is the county's centre of politics and the arts, and is widely renowned for its outstanding architecture.

Its diverse population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures and religions from across The Spectrum and further afield. This is likely due to Kashmir being an international transport hub, with seven international airports and a large port on the Synaptic Gulf.

Kashmir is a major tourist destination, with many Sabratese Heritage sites and numerous iconic landmarks. It lies just west if the Synaptic Gulf, with the outskirts reaching its banks.
