Berlin (Napoleon's World)

Berlin is a Prussian city that serves as the country's capital and largest city. The city proper has a population of 894,617 and its Regierungsbezirk, roughly corresponding with the city and immediate inner-ring suburbs, has a population of 2,271,844. In addition to serving as the seat of the Prussian government, Berlin also serves as capital of it's bezirk as well as the Province of Brandenburg. It has an area of 151 square kilometers and population density of 5,924 people.

Berlin has been the Prussian capital since the 1700s. It grew substantially during the late 1800s and by the turn of the century was one of Europe's thriving cosmopolitan capitals, in contrast to Prussia's largely rural reputation. It was heavily damaged in all three of the European Wars of the 1920s and 1930s and its reconstruction as a modern city occupied the Prussian government's attention for most of the 1940s. In the 1980s, it became the heart of the Europunk music scene, coinciding with the general stagnation not just of the city but the entire Prussian economy. Since the early 2000s, despite Prussia losing population, Berlin has grown steadily, and is one of the few places in Prussia with a substantial non-Polish immigrant community. Today, it serves as the political, cultural and financial center of the country.
