Potosí is the capital city of Santander, a core region of Nouvelle Alexandrie. It sits in the middle of the fertile Potosí Flatlands, surrounded by the Paíz Real Hills. The city is the fourth most populous in the federation, after Punta Santiago, Cárdenas, and Parap, with a population of 434,912 (1710 AN). Its highest elevation is around 2,100 m (6,900 ft). The river Morano flows through the city center, dividing the city in two. Most of the city lies on the northern banks of the river, with development on the south side being considerably more recent.
The city is a historical and cultural center of the Alexandrian diaspora in Keltia and serves as a major commercial and agricultural hub for the Santander region. The fertile Potosí Flatlands and surrounding highlands support a diverse agricultural economy. Coffee cultivation thrives in the lower valleys and hillsides, while the higher elevations produce potatoes, quinoa, beans, and maize. The region is also known for its cut flower industry and vegetable production, including tomatoes, peppers, and squash. Food processing plants in the city handle much of this agricultural output, and textile manufacturing has grown alongside the farming sector since the mid-1690s AN. A prominent landmark is the ancient Alexandrian hill fort of Fuerte Santander, which overlooks the city from its position above the river.
The city of Potosí serves as both the regional capital of Santander and the capital of the State of País Real. The city is subdivided into wards and is connected to the broader federation through the Santander Railway Corporation's Potosí Line and the Santander Bulk Line. The Potosí Metro provides public transit within the city. Potosí also hosts the headquarters of the IV (Santander) Combined Arms Corps of the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie.
