Beaufort is the capital of North Lyrica, a region of Nouvelle Alexandrie. It was the first settlement of Nouvelle Alexandrie after the Lyrican Republic collapsed, and is named after explorer Jacques de Beaufort. It is the sixth most populous city of the Federation. It has a population of 324,921 (1710 AN). It sits at the coast of O'Rea Strait.
The city has strong historical and cultural connections to the Lyrican people. Nouvelle Alexandrie used it as the major base to conquer the rest of the island. It still remains a vital administrative capital, and is unofficially the capital of the whole island, not only the North. It is known for its port and having the only international airport on the island, while also having a thriving tourist economy. Much of its economic power also comes from oil and gas operations east of its coast.
The city of Beaufort is governed by the State of Vinveil, a state in the region of North Lyrica. The city is subdivided into Wards.
