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. This includes the capitol building, the Puertegan Supreme Court, the presidents residence and the headquarters of numerous government agencies. The city is where the Puertegan People's army bases most its institutions out of, however most of its operations are centered in and in the states around the Natiserve bay as to not potentially damage any infrastructure in or around the city, San Lina is home to the largest number of soldiers anywhere in Puertego with almost half the nation's armed forced being stationed there at any time.

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.

Crime
San Lina has long been a center for various different criminal enterprises in Puertego with the city being known to possess dozens of small scale drug labs that export cheap heroin, flaka, and spice among other things to Caphirian, Cartadinian, and Pelaxian markets additionally this trade has allowed several gangs to come to power in the city and begin fighting with each other in the cities slums and poorer regions making the cities murder rate having been on the steady increase for most of its history with the current murder rate being 41.4 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. The city has also long been a hotspot of street crime like armed robbery, kidnapping, and burglary due to the widespread poverty among the population with it consistently ranking among the top 4 cities in the world for rates of those crimes and many others like rape and battery. Corruption is also a major problem in the city with the police force and administration being almost completely corruption and bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, and abuses of power being daily occurrences in the government.
