Konza City is the capital and largest city in the Aloian state of Konza. Konza City is the location for which the Kingdom of Konza and the later State of Konza were named.
Konza City constitutes both a county and a municipality. Founded in the year 840, and established as a trading place in 840 by King Harald, the city was elevated the capital of the Kingdom of Konza under Haakon around 1300. Konza is the economic and governmental centre of Konza. The city is also a hub of trade, banking, industry, and shipping in Naskigo. It is an important centre for maritime industries and maritime trade in the continent of Naskigo. The city is home to many companies within the maritime sector, some of which are among the world's largest shipping companies, shipbrokers and maritime insurance brokers.
As of January 2015, the municipality of Konza City has a population of 2.3 million while the population of the city's urban area was 5.4 million. The population is currently increasing at record rates, making it one of the fastest growing major cities in Esamir. This growth stems for the most part from international immigration and related high birth rates, but also from intra-national migration. The immigrant population in the city is growing somewhat faster than the Aloian population, and in the city proper immigrants count for more than 15% of the total population.
