Camatanam City

Camatanam City or Chamaataanam is the capital and largest city of Camatanam Province, Cadasa. It is the nation's third largest city, behind Selamat and Nan Tung.

History
Camatanam City is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Cadasa. It was founded in 1056 AD, but there is evidence that humans have lived in the area for much longer than that. From 1172 to 1387, it was one of the principal cities of the Dijanush Kingdom.

In 1387, the Camatanam Sultanate was established, and Camatanam City was its capital and main city. In 1718, when the Cahaya dynasty was established, Camatanam City became the economic and political hub of southern Cadasa up until Nan Tung was founded in 1853. However since Nan Tung was under British control (and a sovereign nation until 1994), Camatanam City was still (and currently is) a powerful city.

Politics and government
Camatanam City is considered to be one of the most liberal and progressive cities in Cadasa. It and Nan Tung are seen as the polar opposite of Krunghom and Selamat in the north. The cities are solidly pro-PRC-PK and PKC, while the northern cities support the PNC. Even during the martial law period (1957-1989), when only the PNC was legal, Camatanam City was the centre of the democracy movement and only one PNC mayor was appointed during that period. For example, the 1119 Incident happened in Camatanam City.

The current mayor is Aditya Jadhav, of the Liberal Party of Cadasa.

Culture
Camatanam City is one of the most diverse cities in Cadasa. Only 21% of its population is Cadasan. This reflects in its culture. Many mosques, churches, and temples can be found. The city also has tons of historical sites and museums, such as Bukit Narang district or the St. Andrew's Bank. Camatanam City also has great nightlife, hosts a lot of festivals, and is one of the most LGBT+ friendly cities in Cadasa.
