}}'''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.
}}'''Olympia''', formally the '''National Capital City of Olympia''', is the capital city and special municipality of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. The city is located in Western Washington on the Pacific Ocean, at the southern tip of Puget Sound, covering most of the southern region of the Olympic Peninsula. It shares a municipal land border with Seattle and Salem, and a maritime border with the cities of Victoria and Astoria.


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.
Olympia serves as the seat of the Cascadian national government and is an important regional hub, hosting the Cascadian National Spawn, an international center of commerce and trade. The city is home to the three branches of the Cascadian national government: the House of Representatives in the Cascadia Capitol Building, the Executive Branch in the Presidential Palace, and the Judicial Branch in the Hall of Justice.


The National Capital City of Olympia Act, passed in January 2024, significantly expanded the city's boundaries and authority. This reorganization incorporated the formerly separate city of [[Neah bay|Neah Bay]] and established several parishes under Olympia's jurisdiction, creating a larger metropolitan area under centralized governance. The city now consists of six parishes, which are represented in-game as separate towns but fall under the unified governance of the City.
The city's executive powers are carried out by the City Executive, elected monthly by residents. As of February 2025, HawaiianDPG serves as the city executive, having been elected to a third term. City ordinances are made by the Metropolitan Assembly (sometimes informally referred to as the City Council), consisting of members elected by proportional representation. SayerQT serves as the ceremonial ''Lord Mayor of Olympia''.
Olympia was founded on May 21, 2022, by former [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] Mayor [[SayerQT]], following Seattle's decline in activity. The city rapidly expanded after becoming the capital of the newly formed nation of Cascadia in July 2022. Throughout its history, Olympia has undergone significant development, including the construction of its downtown area, the Presidential Palace, National Tower, and Union Station. Since late 2024, it has been the subject of political dispute, with mass demolition, reconstruction, and renovations to Downtown and the planned ''Project Olympia'' facing delays, polarization, and gridlock. In late January 2025, Project Olympia finally began construction by the Greater Olympia Construction Taskforce, after much of historical Downtown was demolished by the [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of the Interior|Department of the Interior]]'s Olympia Renovation Bureau in autumn 2024.
As of February 2025, Olympia continues to develop and serve as the political and administrative center of Cascadia, playing a crucial role in shaping the nation's future.
