As the seat of the Federal government of Puertego, San Lina is home to many important institutions of the federal government, national monuments, and museums.

San Lina has long been a region that has desired greater autonomy that the federal government of Puertego didn't want to give it, however this changed with the creation of a new constitution under the Puertegan White Flag Communist party which turned San Lina from just the capital to a municipality in San Lina with its own special rights and privileges that are greater than those offered to states, however the city still has only a fraction of the rights afforded to many other municipalities in other countries and is just as politically repressed as the rest of Puertego with independent news outlets being shut down by the government often, people being charged with several things to keep them from criticizing the government or exposing corruption and much more. | San Lina has long been a region that has desired greater autonomy that the federal government of Puertego didn't want to give it, however this changed with the creation of a new constitution under the Puertegan White Flag Communist party which turned San Lina from just the capital to a municipality in San Lina with its own special rights and privileges that are greater than those offered to states, however the city still has only a fraction of the rights afforded to many other municipalities in other countries and is just as politically repressed as the rest of Puertego with independent news outlets being shut down by the government often, people being charged with several things to keep them from criticizing the government or exposing corruption and much more. | ||

Slums and massive shanty towns are a large source of housing in San Lina with different shanty towns housing tens of thousands of people with the largest one in central San Lina estimated to have as many as 4 million residence living in it. There is often a lack of basic necessities in these areas with most lacking electricity and running water however the government has introduced programs to work with local communities to try and fix these shortages in the slums. Healthcare is also something severely lacking with there often being shortages of medicine, unsanitary and overcrowded conditions in hospitals, and long waiting lists, healthcare in San Lina is run entirely by the government and is supposedly free though many times patients have reported needing to bribe doctors to get prescriptions, private healthcare is banned by the Puertegan constitution which gives the government the sole right to provide healthcare. Average life expectancy in San Lina is 67 years old 5 years under the national average with the primary reasons attributed to this low expectancy being the heavy amount of pollution in the city and the high crime rate. | ||

The San Lina stock exchange is one of the fastest growing on the continent and has been since 2012. There has been frustration in San Lina over the massive income inequality in the country due to the subsides and tax breaks given to private companies and lack of regulations meaning they can get rich while their workers often stay barely above the poverty line. | |||

While the government has officially been building things to accommodate these tourists such as many historical and cultural sites there is also a large industry of sex tourism among the tourists with an estimated 15% of money tourists spend in Puertego going to that industry, though prostitution remains officially illegal in Puertego multiple brothels remain allowed to exist due to the corruption in the police force which make a large amount of money by catering to foreign tourists. | Tourism in San Lina is a steadily growing industry with many luxury buildings being built in the city to accommodate foreign tourists primarily high ranking Caphirians.

Primary education in Puertego is provided by the state with it servicing almost the entire student population of San Lina, private schooling is illegal in all Puertegan cities however it is common practice for high ranking officials in the Puertegan government to send their children out of the country for their primary schooling due to the often poor conditions of Puertgan schools. Attendance is mandatory in all schools but students are given the option to drop out once they hit 6th grade with many doing so in order to help in supporting their family by working. | |||

Post secondary education in Puertego is fairly limited with the city only having one university in the University of San Lina which is the oldest in the country. The university is regarded as being of fairly good quality and is free however due to many citizens dropping out the number of citizens who attend is remarkably low with only around 20,000 students, though the university does have programs abroad to try and encourage foreign students to go there. The university has a more limited pool of majors compared to many others with the main ones offered being in medical fields, engineering, business, and architecture. | |||
== Infrastructure == | == Infrastructure == | ||
=== Highways === | === Highways === | ||
Highways in San Lina are surprisingly well maintained compared to the rest of the country with almost all the roads in the city being paved and regularly maintained, however there is a good deal of traffic congestion primarily made by drivers in the state taxi service with the average San Linan spending 48 hours a year in traffic and the average commute to work being 30.5 minutes. The government has made plans to reduce travel times by building additional roads through the cities slums to try and allow the residence shorter travel times to their jobs and has also been working on road systems out of the city limits to more easily allow for travel between San Lina and other cities but road conditions outside the city still remain poor. | |||
=== Transit systems === | === Transit systems === | ||
The metro in San Lina has been operational since 1999 with it being price fixed in 2003 to accommodate the average Puertegan salary. The metro has 5 lines and 32 stations with an additional 8 being planned to be built in the near future, the metro covers a large part of the city with the central region of the city entirely covered and coverage being expanded further out to the eastern and western parts as well, all major sites in the city are covered and large settlements formal and informal also have easy access to the metro. The metro uses an integrated ticket system to combine the bus and taxi systems into one payment system. | |||
San Lina also has a taxi service known as the San Linan Universal Taxi Service (SLUTS) ran by the government, the system started in 2010 in order to make safer ways of above ground transportation, the system has over 20,000 [[Standard People's Compact Vehicle]] ordered from [[Daxia]] to start the program which now includes over 300 transit routes, though they are cheap but feature poor driving habits. Fares are agreed upon before the passenger enters the taxi. the system has garnered a fair bit of controversy for the government using it as an excuse to ban ride sharing apps from Puertegan cities. | |||
=== Airports === | === Airports === | ||
San Lina has the largest airport in the country in the Torres International Airport with the port reviving the majority of the cities domestic and international passengers. The city has five other airports around the city with an additional international airport currently under construction and expected to be operational in the next 3 years, the city has many additional runways in the areas around the city. | |||
