Create Capital City

With this domain action, the regent declares that an already established city within a province or sets aside a particular area of a province to be considered the capital city of the entire realm. This action is similar to the Create Province action, excepting that she is separating an area of a already established province and making it into its own separate province. One realm can only have one capital city.

Once a capital city is created, the reigning regent has established a new province type, a City (0) province. At that point in time, the level of the city may be increased through the Rule Action or through the new domain action, Provincial Migration. Since a new province has been created, other regents may establish holdings within the city. As far as all Domain Actions are concerned, the Capital City is considered to be a separate province. However, ruling up the Capital City's province level is 3 times the normal regency and gold bar cost of an equivalent rule action of a equal province level.

An exception to the one capital city rule is that if a currently reigning regent has conquered an entire foreign realm (one that was ruled by another regent), he may create an additional capital city for the conquered realm, if one has not already been established. Additionally, if a non-regent scion happens to forge his own realm out of a previously established realm, through whatever means, he may establish a capital city for his new realm. If the newly established regent is conquered by either the previous realm that held those provinces or another realm, the new capital city is disbanded and the population of the conquered capital city is absorbed by the parent province (or the province(s) closest to the capital city, if the capital province is established along provincial borders) using the provincial migration rules under the Province Migration Domain Action.

The cost of this Action is the same as the Create Holding/Province Action. However, it cannot be used outside of a regent's already established realm. A capital city cannot be created in a level 0 province.

This action can be modified only by bidding of regency by the regent of the realm. The regent's law holding or the province's level do not affect the success roll for this action. An example of the effects of this action would be the establishment of the Imperial City of Anuire.
