'''Ricubai''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɹ|iː|k|j|uː|b|aɪ}} {{respell|RIH|kew|bye}}) is the [[capital city|capital]] and most populous city of {{Pacifica|Esfalsa}}, with a population of over 2 million as of 2020. It covers an area of about 193 square kilometers, mostly next to {{Pacifica|Alder Bay}}.

Although officially part of the state of Avaivu, Ricubai is a ''de facto'' independent district of Esfalsa. Formed in 1043 as a seat of government for the Esfalsan Confederation, the city quickly grew in size. It was officially designated as the capital of Esfalsa following the Esfalsan Revolution in 1858.
