Syskeyiapolis is the capital of Syskeyia.

Syskeyiapolis is located on a hilly plain nested deep within the Kardja Mountains. The plain, which has determined the overall shape of the city, is roughly circular and has a general diameter of about eighteen miles, and is surrounded by five mountains- Mount Syskeyia to the north, Mt. Peter and Mt. Paul to the east, and Mt. Mai shi-rong and Mt. Williamshire to the west. Each of these mountains has a military base on top. Atop Mt. Syskeyia, the highest of the five, is The Citadel, a famous Syskeyian fortress.

As the Syskeyiapolis plain is quite hilly, the city somewhat resembles Istanbul or an Italian hill town in its plan, to a degree. Nevertheless, the best effort is made to ensure that the roads rougly follow the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west). The effect is that while the roads may seem to slope and turn, you can generally know where you are.
