Donideann is the capital city of Hapatmitas. With a population of 3.9 million, it is the 3rd-largest city in Hapatmitas. Simultaneously, Donideann is also one of the 10 provinces of Hapatmitas and thus the smallest province by land area. The city shares borders with the provinces of Rinnfriu-Dunphris, Eilginn, and Lannraig-Fiobha. The urban area of Donideann has a population of 4.2 million people, making it the 5th-largest urban area in Hapatmitas. The city is considered one of the most densely populated cities in the country. It is governed by the Comhairle Donideann, a public body representing all the districts of Donideann.
Originally a small farming village established around 1263, Donideann quickly grew to become a large trading hub for nomads and merchants. It was formally incorporated as a city in 1719 and consolidated with power in 1824. From 1824, the city quickly grew into the largest trading hub in central Hapatmitas, establishing trade networks throughout the region. During the golden years of the Hapatmitasian trading empire, the city became the largest land-based economic centre. The city constructed many prestigious districts, landmarks, and cultural institutions throughout. After the Hapatmitasian Civil War, a portion of the city was reconstructed after mass damage from bombings. Despite a part of the city being war-torn, it continued to prosper with the reconstruction of larger railway stations and urban routes.
Today, Donideann is home to the largest railway hub in Hapatmitas, facilitating mass urban and cultural development through its trade; 80% of the land trade in Hapatmitas passes through the city. Donideann, as the capital city of the country, also houses the Presidency, the national executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. The city is the birthplace of the Cliu educational system, which governs educational standards and hierarchy throughout Hapatmitas. Donideann International Airport is the third-busiest airport in Hapatmitas, after Gordon Balfour International Airport in Sturgeon and Fordunblae International Airport in Peairtchu.
