San Salvador (Creeperian Spanish: for Holy Savior, officially known as Capital y Ciudad Nacional de Jesús Cristo, el San Salvador del Mundo, Creeperian Spanish for National Capital and City of Jesus Christ, the Holy Savior of the World) is the capital and most populous city Creeperopolis and the department of San Salvador. It is the political, cultural, educational, financial, and military center of the country. The city proper has an estimated 4 million people, while the San Salvador metropolitan area, covering the entire department of San Salvador, consists of over 49 million people, making San Salvador to most populous city on Terraconserva, surpassing second place, Ankarabad, by 4 million people.

The Imperial Palace of San Salvador, the Emperor of Creeperopolis' residence, is contained within the city's metropolitan area. San Salvador also contained the seat of the Council of Mayors and Council of Senators until both were abolished in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The city is currently the seat of the Creeperian National Military Tribunal and was formerly the seat of the Supreme Court and High Court until 1778 and 1949, respectively.

San Salvador is located in the San Salvador Valley surrounded by the San Salvador Range, the San Luís Range, and Lake San Salvador. The city is located near two volcanoes, the San Salvador Volcano and the San Luís Volcano. The San Salvador and Asambio Rivers flow through the center of the city, emptying into Lake Zapatista in the south of the city. The city, and department, border the departments of San Luís, San Salvador del Norte, Santa Ana, Senvar, and Zapatista, and it also borders the State of the Church, a Creeperian client state that is the capital of the Creeperian Catholic Church. The city is encompassed by the Catholic Archdiocese of San Salvador. The San Salvador metropolitan area contains Creeperopolis' largest church, the Cathedral of Christ the King, near central San Salvador.

The city was founded in 1412 by King Miguel III and it was incorporated as a city in 1443. San Salvador only became the capital of Creeperopolis in 1778 following the 1778 Creeperian coup d'état on the decree of Emperor Manuel III. The title of capital of Creeperopolis was challenged during the Creeperian Civil War by the National Council for Peace and Order who declared their capital in Adolfosburg, the second most populous city in Creepeorpolis. The city underwent a three year-long siege from 1946 to 1949, and following the civil war, the city's status of capital of Creeperopolis was secured by the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council. Since 1949, many coups and coup attempts have occurred in the city, most recently, the coup attempt in February 2020.
