Thakki

Thakki ( or ; Irjysian: [ʈakːi]), officially the National Capital of Thakki (Janthhave Ukluwani Thakki [ʤɐntʰaːve ukˈluːwani ʈakːi]), often shortened to JUT (Jeyuti), is the capital and the largest city of the Rajate of Maryaadah, having been so since the city's foundation in 688, replacing the old capital of Choklacha (formerly Pulawati). Thakki is the most populous city in the Irjysian Archipelago, and is the country's financial and cultural hub. It is one of the oldest cities in Maryaadah. It is located 4 kilometers west of Lake Hajung.

Thakki was founded by Raja Mowatu Thakkiwani on 17 June 688 (5 Kebhantanu 297 in the Irjysian calendar) to replace Pulawati, now known as Choklacha, as he believed that the capital of the rajate of Irjysia should be on the "snake island" and be near the Hajung lake, which was deemed sacred by Irjysian Nutaderramis. The city quickly grew and developed to be one of the most prominent Nesionytan cities at the time. However, as it was flood prone, Thakki was often heavily flooded, resulting in its destruction. Later, in 958 AD, a dam was built near the Wahakumoni river to prevent flooding in the future. To control the city's rising population, peasants from rural areas were banned from migrating there and the one-child policy was passed in 1039, though these laws were to be abolished in the 19th century. The city was heavily bombed and damaged during the Three-Rajate War, so the capital was temporarily relocated to Kajalwi at the south up until the end of the war. However, the temporary move is not mentioned in most Maryaadanese history books and current government denied all claims that something like this ever happened. The city in its current form was established under British rule in 1787.

Thakki is the financial, cultural, and the historical hub of Maryaadah. Its main tourist attractions include the Emerald Temple, Anglavati, Bhamwaru Hills, Hawandha Museum, Irjysian Cultural Museum, and the Kelkhatabhim House. It is often called the "Cradle of Irjysia", as it has contributed hugely to Irjysian society. It is the center of the Thakki metropolitan area, one of the only four metropolitan areas of the country, established in 1978. The close towns of Waitru and Ukoliman were included within the Thakki metropolitan area in 1981.
