Songak (Shingoryeoite Korean: 송악, Hanja: 松嶽) is the most populous city in Quebec and Shingoryeo. The city is located on the western end of the Saint-Henri-River with a 2056 population of 8.22 million people. Located in middle of major shipping routes, and at the intersection of over a dozen expressways and railway lines that transverse across Quebec and Shingoryeo and its neighbours, the city has been long viewed as the strategic and geographical centre of northern Calania.

With a population of 7.45 million people on its city boundaries, and 11.5 million in the Songak province itself, Songak is one of the most populous cities in the SAREMA regions. As one of two major global cities from Quebec and Shingoryeo, Songak is an international centre of commerce and finance, culture, entertainment transport, science and tourism. Considered to be the financial capital of Quebec and the Quebecois Commonwealth, as well as an established location for diasporas and investors of Anglophone world, Songak is often known as the Capital of northern Calania.

The city was founded by King Philippe I on 27 June 1492, and was named after the Mount Songak, one of the two mountains located in middle of the Island of Songak that was named after its equivalent in Gaeseong, Goryeo Dynasty. In Quebec and Shingoryeo, Songak is traditionally associated with the development of the Shingoryeoite nation as a commercial and maritime power of pluralistic influences and communities, one that differentiates from the national capital of Joongyeong, and has been associated with the force of the Shingoryeoite Empire that have lasted between 1734 and 1949. In the past century of the post-imperial period, Songak emerged as the centre of innovation, entrepreneurship, and youth culture, playing into the regeneration of and increasing role held by the city.

Administration

The administration of Songak consists of two tiers. On the upper tier there is Greater Songak, chaired by the Lord Mayor, who is elected separately from the Greater Songak Assembly, which consists of representatives from all its smaller bodies. Right below consists of 26 smaller authorities, which consist of 20 boroughs from the traditional City of Songak, as well as non-constituent cities that fall outside of the city boundaries, but are considered part of Greater Songak.

As one of the two federal cities, Greater Songak also doubles as a province of its own. This means that the Lord Mayor, who also doubles as the Premier of the Songak province, is considered to be the highest-ranking official in charge.
