'''Volkgoroda''' ([[Volkian language|Volkian]]: Волкгорода tr. ''Volkgoroda'') is the {{wp|capital city
Volkgoroda is the seat of the Volkian federal government, housing the [[President of Volkia]] within the Presidential Palace. Both chambers of the [[National Assembly of Volkia|National Assembly]] (the [[Federal Council (Volkia)|Federal Council]] and the [[Chamber of Deputies (Volkia)|Chamber of Deputies]]) and the [[Federal Supreme Court of Volkia|Federal Supreme Court]] also sit in the city. Volkgoroda is considered the center of Volkian culture, having served as the home of Volkian artists, scientists, and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions, and theaters.
The city is served by a transit network which includes an international airport, four railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Volkgoroda Metro. It is recognized as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its nearly 120 stations. The city is known for its many skyscrapers and high rises.
Founded in the early 4th Century as a [[Volkiplemeni]] trading and fishing village, it progressively grew in size to the point where neighboring Volkiplemeni villages amalgamated into one village. The name of the newly combined villages was first recorded as ''Volkgoroda'' in the 6th Century, and makes reference to "many Volkiplemeni cities." It has been the capital of every Volkian state since the Grand Duchy of Volkia rose in 365.
Volkgoroda has the most educated population among Volkian cities and is home to a number of colleges and universities, research and cultural institutions, including Volkgoroda State University, Strekalov College, the National Gallery of Volkia, and numerous national museums.
