Tuvärd is a large, planned city located in western Atavya. With a population of 800,321 inhabitants, it is the third largest city in the country after neighbouring Garashul and Sòvärd.

History
Following Atavya's large population increase in the 1920's, there was a severe strain on Garashul's already-pressured infrastructure. The central government put into place the New Towns Scheme, which put forward plans to construct several new towns around Atavya, particularly in the west of the country. The largest of these new towns was Tuvärd, which began construction in 1955. Prior to Tuvärd's construction, the land on which it was built was the village of Fedened, about three-quarters of the was between Garashul and Tulep. The initial target was a population of 300,000. However, excess demand saw the population skyrocket to 400,000, with construction barely keeping up with demand. The first part of the city was finished in 1970, with a then population of 410,000. However, many people quickly grasped Tuvärd's strategic location in the middle of four of Atavya's flagship cities, meaning that more money was ploughed into the city, and the population reached it's peak of 800,321 inhabitants in mid-2009.

Administration
It forms it's own county, the Tuvärd Metropolitan County and is run by the Governor of Tuvärd, who also represents the city in the central government. The Tuvärd Metropolitan County borders Sòvärdmend to the west, Garashul to the south, Tulep-Deneţ to the north and Şonell to the east.

Transport
Tuvärd has a substantial railway station with direct services to Garashul via it's Progreşen station, Tulep and Galaţel Krojsor. The station is inconveniently located for trains to either Latär International Airport or Deneţ-Elekkveled Airport, however there are frequent express bus services from the city centre to both airports, as well as the nearby important cities of Deneţ and Sòvärd, which at present have no direct rail service to Tuvärd.

Tuvärd is also the location of several planned stops on the Garashul Metro, which should see accessibility to the city improve dramatically.

Sport
Tuvärd KF (Tuvard Football (Soccer) Club) are one of the most successful in the country, having won the [{Atavyan Football League]] several times. At present, the play in Galeţ A (league A) the top tier of football in the country.
