Melevorgrad is the Folkscapital and largest city of the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]]. The city stands between the Saile and Dalach Rivers in Ceiltea with a population of 14 players. Melevorgrad is among one of the world's most developed cities, being the 12th biggest city in the World. Melevorgrad is among the largest and most populous settlements on Western [[Arith]].
Originally founded as the capital city of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea, Ard Saileach (Great Willow), Ard Saileach grew to become a prosperous and powerful city that served as the administrative, regional and legislative capital of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea including the Lordship of Yangtzeguo. When the High Kingdom was overthrown by Collectivists Revolutionaries in the January Revolution, Ard Saileach was renamed to Melevorgrad and remained as the political and economic centre of the new [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]].
As the historic core of Ceiltea, Melevorgrad serves as the home of numerous artists, scientists and sports figures from all across the Union, due to the presence of its various museums, academic and political institutions and theatres. The city is well known for multiple of its landmarks, particularly its historic Red Square, Tower of the Collectivist Ideal and the Red Citadel, of which the latter serves as the seat of power of the Government of the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics|U.C.C.R.]] Melevorgrad is home to many Ceiltean and Collectivist industries and is served by a comprehensive transport network, which includes a fully developed road system in and out of the city, and a port. The city is covered by many gardens, making it one of the greenest cities in [[Arith]] and the world.
== Etymology ==
The original name of the city, Ard Saileach, was derived from the name of the Saile River, in Common Alathran: ''Willow River''. The city was named as "Great Willow" in homage to the willow trees of the area, and the river which often carried parts, or whole trees down stream, and in-land through Western Arith.

Following the January Revolution, an unanimous decision was made by the Revolutionary Committee of "Red Saileach" - a temporary name of the capital following the Revolution - to rename the city officially, in homage and to glorify Melevor, the new Eternal Leader of the now [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]]. The "grad" section of the name is derived from an old Pyrrhian word for city, adding additional references to the Union's direct descendance from the [[Pyrrhus|Pyrrhian Collectivist Council Republic]].
=== Other names ===
Melevorgrad has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The ''Second Pyrrhus'', the ''Great Seat'', and the ''Leadercity.'' The demonym for a Melevorgrad resident is "Melevorgradian".
