Lindström
Lindström, also known as Lindstrom City, officially the Free and Imperial City of Lindström, is the capital of Natopia.
History of the City
Lindstrom City is named for the fictitious Swedish revolutionary, Gustav Lindstrom, who developed the idea of lindstromism. The City is one of the three oldest cities in Natopia along with Andiopolis and Vice City. It has always been the capital but has been included in many different subdivisions. First the capital was inside the Region of Shepard, a semi-autonomous region of the Supreme Sovereign Republic of Natopia. Then it was dissociated from the Regions into an independent capital territory called the Principality of Natopia, later renamed as the Vicinage of Shepard and finally the District of Shepard. Lindstrom City was absorbed into the newly created Royal Barony of Ziegeland, which would annex Flaventia to become the United Principality of Ziegeland-Lochhatonia. The principality eventually dissolved itself. Lindstrom City then found itself in the County of Pavleton. A few months later Flaventia was re-founded and absorbed Pavleton to become the seat og government yet again.
Lindström is currently its own administrative division, separate from all other demesnes and territories of Natopia. It is governed directly by the Imperial Government, with the Chancellor serving as de facto mayor and the Frenzy as de facto city council.
Due to the long history of Lindström as a royal city under the rule of the Waffel-Paine family, the House of Waffel-Paine claims the title Lord Mayor of Lindström as an ancestral title that is granted to the current Emperor. The title is purely ceremonial and carries no legal power over the city.
