Duceta is the capital city of Estontetso. It forms a Federal Territory which is not part of one of the Constituent Republics of Esto. It fulfils all functions of a capital, accommodating the Federal President, most of the government Offices (ministries) and the foreign nations' embassies.

Despite the fact that Duceta has once been the nominal capital of the enormous Liliani Empire, and then, capital of the large Empire of Estontetso, Duceta is not as large as would be expected. This is due to the fact that both empires conducted wars throughout nearly their whole existence, and the emperors have not been in town long enough to ignite a larger scale development.

Subdivision[]

Duceta is subdivided into about a dozen boroughs or quarters. The main borough is formed by Duceta's old city (4 mill. inh.), in Gorami language called Zweibrücken, and ranks as an urban region, district, and quarter at the same time; its Mayor with the title of Lord Mayor is at the same time President Lord Mayor of Duceta, ranking like a president of a constituent republic.

History[]

Duceta developed into a capital region because of its outstanding location within the central territory of Bezana-Buba. Its position at a historic crossroads of main trade routes has made it a privileged meeting point of different cultures.

Historical Places[]

Most visited historical places of Duceta are the Höhenburg and the Stadtschloss.

The Höhenburg Duceta (hill castle), erected by Emperor Natestus III in the 5th century BP, overlooks Zweibrücken where trading arteries and military roads met and crossed since millienniums and made the place grow to great importance.

The national flag is flown day and night (illuminated) from a pole on the plateau in front of the castle, specially constructed not to damage the old structures and festively inaugurated by Federal President W. S. Hombruch on 22nd February 322 (22.2.22 in Esto's style).

The Stadtschloss Duceta (city palace) was begun by the last Emperor and first King of Estontetso, D. Xoninhas PanKona I and Only, upon the dissolution of the empire and proclamation of the kingdom in 97 AP, right after his re-accession as a king, and finished twenty years later, as a sign of his unbroken power, for the glory of the new Estontetsan nation-state, last achievement of the empire, and as a mirror of the distinction of the capital city.

The Stadtschloss is now seat of the Federal President, the Secretary of State and the Federal Council And Court.

In February 322, the Constabulary took up an old tradition and re-introduced the colourful changing of the guards parade in front of the castle.

Duceta is located at the meeting of two rivers. By this waterway, it is connected to the main harbour on the Estontetsan east coast, Imbedungado. An ancient land route connects it to the capitals of the adjacent countries, Fenizabad in Feniz and Prurient City in Draconia. Another ancient land route runs westward, crosses the Central Longrathian Ridge at its lowest point (the Salingen pass) and meets the west coast in Hörde-on-Sea, a connection now serviced by a performant rail link.
