Londinium

Londinium is the capital and largest city of the Ivalician State of Forriedor. Londinium is a chief city of the Forriedor Midlands region, and the chief production center for manufactured goods in Ivalice. While it lacks a sea port like the other three state capitals of Ivalice, Londinium is the center of trade in the nation, with its busiest airport and host to the state-run mail system, the Ivalice Mail and Parcel Service.

History
The area which now makes up the Greater Londinium Agglomeration was first settled by farmers of the Kingdom of Saint Ivalice around 1378, growing tobacco and corn along the banks of the Aerelon River. The region experienced a population boom after the Industrial Revolution and was named capital of the Forriedor territory under King James II in 1542. When the Republic of Ivalice was founded in 1612, Londinium became capital of the state of Forriedor.

Cityscape
Like Ivalion, Londinium's streetscape is organic. The city lacks the neat grids of Koiwai and Randgriz City, but contains many public squares and circles serving to regulate traffic throughout its vast area.

Economy
Londinium plays host to all of the major manufacturing companies in Ivalice, such as Jones Wilson Aerospace, Wright Steel, and CloverWorks.

Transport
Londinium Transit operates the city's rapid transit system, Londinium Subsurface as well as local buses in the area. Inter-city and regional rail services call at Londinium King Marche Station, with high speed ICS Express service to Randgriz and Ivalion. The Thealla Mountains to the south and far east of the city impede travel to Koiwai by rail, disallowing a high speed link. National Route 3 connects Londinium with Koiwai.

Londinium is home to Skorcolum International Airport, located to the northeast of the city in the Borough of Willard. It is the principal hub of IvalAir, and the busiest airport in the nation by number of passengers served.

Environment
Whilst Ivalice is generally known to be an environmentally friendly city, Londinium has the highest levels of pollution in the country, due to the vast amount of industrial factories in the Aerelon Valley. The Clean Air Act of 1978 has cut down on the most severe pollution in the area, but the frequent fogs in the valley combined with industrial exhaust can cause health problems for citizens.
