Bethlehem City

The Capital

Bethlehem City is the administrative and social centre of Niua. The capital is the only densely populated city on Niua, and is the site of over 90% of all Niuan births. This is due to its thriving population, its clement environment, and the abundance of medical facilities. It is the quintessential “Niuan” settlement, and is not only the oldest, but also most influential of sites. The styles and trends of Bethlehem filter quickly through the six smaller cities, shaping them in the mould of the capital. The City is unique as it is the only one of the seven that does not contribute to the maintenance of the blanket satellites, and thus its geographical centre is defined by different means; by the Palace of David as opposed to the projection towers that mark the middle of the other settlements.
