The '''Palm Coast metropolitan area''' is the largest urban region in Cartadania, encompassing seven counties in northern Verona. The agglomeration of the urbanized Palm Coast metro area surrounds the urban core of Sierra County, more specifically the city of Sierra.
The '''Palm Coast metropolitan area''' ({{lang-cd|Área metropolitana da Costa Palma}}), colloquially known as '''the PCA''', is the most populous urban region in [[Cartadania]], encompassing five counties in northeastern [[Verona]]. The agglomeration of the urbanized Palm Coast metro area surrounds the urban core of [[Sierra County, Verona|Sierra County]], which contains the city of [[Sierra]], the largest city in Cartadania with over 8 million residents. The Palm Coast also serves as a major anchor and economic hub, with its [[Palm Coast International Terminals]] on the [[Urlazian Sea]] being the third largest in the country (after the [[São Ricardo International Gateway]] and [[Port of Santarém]]), and the [[Sierra International Airport]], which serves as the busiest international gateway in Cartadania.  


As a center of many industries, including finance, international trade, new and traditional media, real estate, education, fashion, entertainment, tourism, biotechnology, law, and manufacturing, the Palm Coast metropolitan region is one of the most important economic regions in the world; in 2030, the MSA produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly $2.98 trillion ranking first nationally by a wide margin.
The Palm Coast has historically been among the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in Cartadania; it was the fastest-growing in absolute terms during the 2019–2020 census year, adding 427,083 people. Despite population beginning to slow down, the Palm Coast Consortium of Metropolitan County Government (PCCMCG) projects the metropolitan area will add between 3.7 and 8.6 million new residents between 2010 and 2050.

Certain municipalities, such as Buenaventura, Jupiter, Lynnhaven, La Joya, Sierra, the entirety of Santa Rosa County, collect refuse via their Department of Public Works, while others rely on private corporations and self-disposal for residents to dispose of garbage. [[Waste Management America]] is the largest private company to do so, and also provides services in the areas that have their own trash service. Due to sanitation guidelines in the region, there is only one landfill in the metro area (western Victoria County), and most trash is transferred via station to landfills and processing facilities in [[Lençois County, Verona|Lençois County]].

Much like the rest of Verona, and Cartadania as a whole, the Palm Coast region has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, hovering around 84 years as of 2022. Cartadania's healthcare system places heavy emphasis on wellbeing and this is no different in the Palm Coast region. It's more laid back pace as compared to the metro areas of cities like Calaine and [[New Venceia, Alexandria|New Venceia]] often give it a negative light (sometimes seen as lazy), but despite this, the region is per capita, the second-most productive in the country.

Religion has waned in importance of daily life of many Cartadanians over the years after the country became independent. Nonetheless, many of the people who live in the Palm Coast area, native-born included, carry Catholic values and [[Caphiric Church|Catholicism]] continues to be the largest religion in not only the metro area, but the country as a whole. It is trailed by the world's other major religions.
