Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee) is the capital city of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. It is the second-most populous city in North Carolina, after Charlotte. Raleigh is the tenth-most populous city in the Southeast, the 41st-most populous city in the U.S., and the largest city of the Research Triangle metro area. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 147.6 sq mi (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau counted the city's population as 474,069 in the 2020 census. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. The city of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County.

Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013. The Raleigh Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.

Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Shizong County, a county under the jurisdiction of Qujing City, is a multi-ethnic agricultural county in the mountainous area. It got its name because the tribal leader Shizong led the army to live in Nirongdian (now Xihua Village outside Shizong County) in the Tang Dynasty. Shizong County, located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, is one of the old revolutionary base counties in Yunnan Province. It is bordered by Luoping County in the east, Xilin County in the southeast, Qiubei County in the south, Luxi County in the southwest and Luliang County in the north. As of 2012, Shizong County has jurisdiction over 5 towns and 3 townships, with 99 village committees and 10 communities; the total population is 421335 and there are 35 ethnic minorities living, mainly Yi, Zhuang, Miao, Hui, Yao and so on. On April 30, 2019, the people's Government of Yunnan Province decided that Shizong County should withdraw from the sequence of poor counties.
