'''Kinnaird''' is the second most populous city in the Arcer Governorate of [[Moorden Governorate|Moorden]] and the second largest city in the [[Arcerion|Confederated Provinces of Arcerion]]. It has a population of 4.1 million as of 2026, and has the fastest growing population in Arcerion, estimated to surpass [[Kurst Capital Region|Kurst]] by the late 2040s. It is the center of the Kinnaird Metropolitan Area, one of the most economically important municipalities in Arcerion, and contributes a large portion of Arcerion's non-industrial GDP, making it one of Arcerion's most important cities.  
The '''Kurst Capital Region''', is a region in Southwestern [[Arcerion]] that compromises the national capital [[Kurst]] and seven additional municipalities, called boroughs, that surround it. Each borough has their own elected town council. Municipal and borough governments cooperate extensively in multiple fields, for example, waste management policy, sharing public transportations services, and pooling their resources for a unified fire and emergency services department. The area is by far the largest urban area in [[Arcerion]]. The Kurst Capital Region's population of 6.3 million encompasses 7% of the total Arcer population as of the 2026 census. It also has many important Arcer historical landmarks, such as Fort Ellis, and the Crown-Governor's mansion. A significant amount of the population are involved in government or government services, commuting from the outer boroughs into downtown Kurst.  
 
Kinnaird is located in the Northwest portion of Moorden Governorate, and West of the [[Aileach Mountains]], situated along the [[Malentine Sea]]. It was founded in 1794 after an expedition by Ensign Francis Kinnaird established the town, the second attempt of its type as the first had been [[Arcer Bush Wars#1794 - Massacre of the Northern Caravan|destroyed by A'awaskan tribesmen]]. It grew rapidly along with the rest of Moorden Governorate throughout the 1800s, and as of 1850 it had a population of over 200,000 citizens, placing it third behind [[Chester-on-Moore]] and Kurst. The population continued to grow with the end of the 19th century bringing in more migrants, with Kinnaird being settled by a majority of [[Ænglish people|Ængle]] immigrants from [[Levantia]]. A significant boom occurred once the Arco National Railway Service had been created and a major railway station was built in Kinnaird. The railway junction became one of the main arteries feeding into the Southern portions of the [[Arcer Heartland]], and the significant flow of money, material, and people through Kinnaird helped with the turn-of-the century boom.
 
Kinnaird also established one of the earliest financial centres in Arcerion and [[Crona]], with the [[Kinnaird Stock Exchange|Kinnaird Stock Exchange's]] founding in 1822. This helped it grow into one of the most financially important centres in South Crona, and the headquarters of a dozen major banks currently operate in the city's financial district within the downtown core. The heavy investment of money and the architectural and engineering program at the [[Universities in Arcerion#Moorden|Moorden Governorate College]] helped with the creation of some of Crona's first skyscrapers built with glass and steel in the 1940s.
 
Kinnaird remains an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications and transportation. The KSX was the first institution in South Crona to issue stocks and bonds, with the creation of corporates shares for [[Arcerion Steel Corporation]] issued in 1848. Kinnaird generates 40% of all volume in stock and equities trading in Crona alone as of the mid-2020s. Francis Kinnaird International Airport is currently ranked as the busiest airport in South Crona, according to itnernational regulatory and oversight bodies. Kinnaird also is the site of a key highway junction of the [[Highways of Arcerion|national highway system]], connecting the coastal Highway 1 with Highway 3, which leads through the Aileach Mountains and into the Arcer Heartland to [[Easthampton]].  
 
Kinnaird's economy and significant financial industry have given it the nickname 'Cashtown,' first coined by the Kinnaird Financial Times in the late 1800s. The [[Kinnaird Financial Times]] is the leading finance, industry, and fiscal reporting editorial in Crona, with an estimated circulation from [[Alstin]] to [[Urcea]]. The economy of Kinnaird is not overtly industrial, and is centered in the finance, equities, banking, and other white-collar associated industries. Kinnaird is home to a number of important banks and financial institutions, notably [[CronaBank]] and [[Moorden Confederate|Royal Moorden Commercial Bank]].
 
In addition to the strong economic basis, Kinnaird also boasts a significant number of tourist destinations. It has an annual tourist visa issuance of ~10 million, as the city draws a large number of modern music festivals, business conferences, and historical-related tourism for its preserved colonial buildings and museums.
 
The city's flag is derived from the original moneylending markets established shortly after the city's founding. It pictures a yellow field, representing the gold of the early [[Ardmore|Ardmori]] currency traded, with a black superimposed scale representing fairness in business dealings. 
 
Both the [[Kinnaird Grenadiers]] and the Kinnaird Grenadier Guards have their Regimental headquarters located at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird.
