Where is the capital located in the book, J: A Novel?

The capital is located at least several hours from Port Reuben. It is close enough to be driven to but far enough that it requires an overnight stay. Kevern and Ailinn go on a several-day trip to the capital, which has been nicknamed NECROPOLIS. There, only a handful of neighborhoods, including the government quarter, are in good shape. Formerly luxurious areas thrive on memories of what they used to be, while the rest of the city is crime-stricken and crumbling down.
