Its capital and largest city is [[Natália]]. Situated along the country's Hyperian coast, is bordered to the west by [[Itacati]] and [[Pijirica]], with [[Flumênia]] to its north and [[Porangatama]] to its south. The AN-111 highway, colloquially known as the [[Hyperian Highway]] or A Translitorânea, runs along its coastline, connecting the state with its northern and southern neighbors. Inland, it connects to the [[Ancorian Interior Seaway]], with the port city of [[Benfica]] being a major center of inter-state trade. Alcântara is host to significant tourist attractions, in particular the beaches of Natália, [[Sapucaí]] and [[Cabo de Fernão]]. It is also a major centre of military operations for the broader Commonwealth, hosting a major naval base and a citadel in the vicinity of its capital. In its past, Alcântara was a captaincy of the broader Viratian colonization of Ancoria, being elevated to the status of province following the rise of the Ancorian Empire. Many holdovers of its colonial legacy can be seen in its traditional architecture, with Natália, [[Stellamaris]] and [[São Henrique]] being renowned for their historical districts. {{tag>commonwealth federative_units ancoria alcantara}}
