'''Castra Osaniovo''' is the capital of the province [[ | '''Castra Osaniovo''' is the capital of the province [[Narico]] in [[Caphiria]]. It has nearly 360,000 citizens, while its metropolitan area (including Castra Osaniovo and 15 other municipalities) has more than 722,000 inhabitants. An ancient city with a long history, Castra Osaniovo has seen the rule of several civilisations. Under the buildings of the modern city there is a continuous stratification attesting to human settlement over the course of some five thousand years, from the Neolithic period to today. Its natural resources have always been its sheltered harbour, the often powerfully fortified hill of Trynn, the salt from its lagoons, and, from the hinterland, wheat from the Pohella plain and silver and other ores from the Naseph mines. | ||

It is also Narico's economic and industrial hub, having one of the biggest ports in the Sea of Odoneru, an international airport, and one of the highest income levels in the empire. Over the last three decades, tourism in Castra Osaniovo has quadrupled. This is due to the many beaches becoming a popular destination for weddings and honeymoons, student vacations and an influx of celebrities moving to live in the area. The tourism and entertainment business flourishes here unlike in any other city so much so that many have nicknamed Castra Osaniovo to ''Novas Venciea''. | ||
