Seoul, the nation's largest city and capital, is in the heart of the area but has been separately administered as a provincial-level special city since 1946. Incheon, the nation's third-largest city, is on the coast of the province and has been similarly administered as a provincial-level metropolitan city since 1981. The three jurisdictions are collectively referred to as Sudogwon and cover 11,730 km², with a combined population of over 26 million - amounting to over half of the entire population of South Korea, and a third of the population of the Korean peninsula at the 2020 census.
