}}'''Olympia''', officially the '''National Capital City of Olympia''' ('''NCCO'''), is a special municipality of the Republic of Cascadia located in Western Washington on the Pacific Ocean, and serves as the capital city of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. It is located at the southern tip of the Puget Sound and covers most of the southern region of the Olympic Peninsula. Olympia shares a municipal land border with Seattle and Salem, and a maritime border with the cities of Victoria and Copper. As the seat of the Cascadian national government, the city is an important regional hub, and is the home to the Cascadian National Spawn, an international center of commerce and trade.

The three branches of the Cascadian national government are located within the city. The House of Representatives is seated in the Cascadia Capitol Building, the Executive Branch works out of the Presidential Palace, which also serves as a presidential residence, and the Judicial branch works out of the Hall of Justice. It has a population of 20, making it one of the most populated cities in Cascadia, as an important commercial, political, and cultural center.

The city consists of six parishes, which in-game are seperate towns, but are all governed by the National Capital City of Olympia, or (NCCO). The City's executive powers are carried out by the City Executive, elected once a month by the city's residents. The current city executive is Blu_Zebra, who was re-elected to a second term in the February 2024 city election. City ordinances are made by the Legislative Assembly, consisting of several members elected by proportional representation by the city's electorate. Prior to the creation of the National Capital City by an act of the Legislature in January 2024, what is now a single city were two cities, the City of Olympia and the City of Neah Bay. The City of Olympia was founded in May of 2022, and used a city-manager government, with SayerQT serving as mayor for the entirety of its existence. The City of Neah Bay has a long and seperate history from the City of Olympia, however due to its decline was amalgamated into Olympia by the Legislature in January 2024 with the establishment of the National Capital City

The city of Olympia was founded by former Seattle Mayor SayerQT on May 21, 2022, due to Seattle becoming both a mess, and inactive. SayerQT founded the nation of Cascadia with the capital in Olympia in July 2022, and entered a rapid period of expansion, growth that continued for some time.
