Everyone is part of the same nation, they're just citizens of different cities which have large autonomy. That will play an important role if there'd be some sort of an capital from which you could run the cities of the province if you're the governor or lead the cities troops if you're the marshal of the capital for example. But otherwise, yes. The first city is something that shouldn't be destroyed since new players would learn there how the game works, so maybe that could be the capital.
