Nothing says the capitol city on the new Romulan homeworld cannot have the same name, but since the original Ki Baratan was the capitol of the Romulan Star Empire, some of those who suffered under the imperial government might have invested the name with some negative emotive value
Edit: Of the various non-canonical names that have been invented for the old Romulan capitol, I personally like "Val'danadex Trel" the best; it just looks more Romulan than the other two.
p.s. Since you have turned a simple question into an issue of in-game politics, my character is part of the Star Navy & the Praetorian Guard, so the Republic can go kreldanni llhusra themselves.

I think we should get our own Academy, yes, but as for making a New Romulan Citadel as a counterpart to ESD and the First City, we already have the Flotilla to serve that purpose. Would it be nice to see more of Mol'Rihan? Absolutely, but it would also be nice to see more of Earth and Qo'noS, and if further expansion to maps is made for one faction, it will have to be done for all factions.
PS - I didn't turn anything into politics, but simply pointed out a political reality in-game that should be considered in the context of your suggestion.
Also, in response to your stated allegiance (as it seems that you would like to go there), rather than type it all out again, I'm going to instead quote a post I have already made, which links to other posts I have made:
p.s. Question: What madman would put his place of government in a Battle Group/Flotilla?
Answer: D'tan.

It would be nice to have the Reman slums opened. Of course this is D'tans time so it will probably be all flowers and prestine buildings.
Citadel would be nice, perhaps fixing the door inside the command center to allow you access to embassy aswell...instead of going to command center>staging area>embassy doesn't really make sense the door magically changes its exit.
As your Yeoman brings her PADD for you to initial on orders, she surreptitiously slips a small, cloaked listening device on the captain's chair. When you have handed the PADD back to her, she leaves the bridge via the turbolift, leaving no one the wiser as to her bug. En route to the shuttlebay, she hastily alters her uniform and hairstyle, and emerges from the turbolift in a science duty uniform. She checks in with the shuttle requisitions officer, showing him her PADD with your initial on an order for a Kestrel runabout Fnord, then she boards the small craft accompanied by an Orion woman in Orion princess dancing attire of a typical sort, and the two depart the hangar. Going to full impulse, they are quickly lost in the darkness of space, and activate the Kestrel's cloak before warping out of the system.
"I think that was quite a profitable safari, galae'Enriov," the Orion "slavegirl" notes.
"Agreed, Vishka. Eyes and ears on the situation, as usual," the science "duty officer" nods. "The pheromone enhancement seemed to help as well. Set course for Qo'noS and engage the quantum slipstream drive, Commander. We'll rendezvous with the Memenda there and beam you back to the First City."
"Yes, Admiral t'Prell."
And another dissident is unknowingly under the surveillance of Klingon Intelligence and the New Romulan Republic's Tal'Diann, the same Tal'Diann that has fought the Tal'Shiar for generations.
On topic:
"Ra'tleihfi" was at one time a capitol of the Rihannsu Stelam Shiar, it is sure.
However, empires and kingdoms move capitols at times, for various reasons, a fact I overlooked in my earlier comments in this thread.
The capitol of the Kingdom of Scots was Dunatt, Dunfermline, Scone, Stirling, and now Edinburgh, for one example.
There's no reason all of the names given could not have been different cities, each having at one time or another served as the imperial capitol.
I would suppose that the Staging Area, New Romulus Command Center, and Diplomatic Quarter (where we all have our embassies) would be in the current capitol city of Mol'Rihan. Maybe we could call it "Mol'Val'danadex Trel."

Are you sure that you wish to countermand the Emperor and the Praetor?

There hasn't been an Emperor or Praetor in some time. The Empress is missing, apparently taken prisoner by Iconians, and is a woman who gave permission to the Hirogen to hunt Romulans and Remans, obviously unworthy of the office, which has been tainted for a while before she even took the throne. The Romulan Star Empire is a derelict hulk, to which cling a dwindling group of delusional and paranoid reactionaries.
The Tal'Diann will stand firm against the Tal'Shiar and any pretender to the throne.
p.s. Do you intend to claim the Throne of the Raptor Star for yourself?

See what Arkansas looks like in 2409 :P.
"I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment... because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived" Picard to Riker
Really? Where did you get that bit of information? More relevantly, why would a NON-IMPERIAL state have a Praetorian Guard for a non-existent Emperor or the missing Empress of a former regime? Why would a non-imperial state retain such trappings of an imperial government that no longer has any relevance for the citizens of said state?
The Republic has no throne; don't be ridiculous.
Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
Now if I remember the backstory right, Praetors were elected by the Romulan Senate, or at least overseen by them, while Emperors were not; and Donatra was like the first empress in a good long while, with Sela following her and both not lasting for very long. There's no reason why D'Tan or someone couldn't convene a new Senate to elect a new Praetor, especially as doing so would give Republic some kind of legitimacy.
But the Praetorians "were known to have been the personal forces of the Emperor of the Romulan Star Empire" and "were commanded only by the Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire."
Three particulars indicate the obsolescence of the Praetorians under the new order in light of the quoted bits:
1. There is no Emperor (nor Empress, for that matter).
2. There is no Praetor.
3. The New Romulan Republic is not the Romulan Star Empire.
I find it curious how often I have to remind Tal'Shiar sympathizers of the fact that we're not subjects of the Empire but are instead citizens of the Republic. It must be the conditioning.
It's just Romulan Republic. AFAIK. Putting 'New' in front of it is unncessary and I've never heard of any state that calls itself 'The New _'
Otherwise I don't take issue with anything you've said.
Literally don't know what you're talking about

It's the New Romulan Republic because it's based on New Romulus. Supporters of the Republic are often called "New Romulans" by those who cling to the crumbling decadence that was once the Romulan Star Empire.
Honestly, I've never really understood why people have an issue with this. When we come across a new race/species/etc., we give it a name. That name is generally not what they call themselves. Examples? How about the Dine (DEE-nay) people of the American Southwest. We call them the Navajo. Or the Numunu, whom we call Comanches.
"Romulan" is the "white man's name". If you ask a Romulan what he calls his people, it's "Rihannsu". They don't know Rome, or the old legend of Romulus and Remus. Why should they?

Well, in DS9 we saw a glimpse of Louisiana (New Orleans, I believe ... at least I think that was where Sisko's father had a restaurant) and Paris (if memory serves that was where the office of the Federation president was located).
Heck, the pilot episode of Voyager even showed us a Federation penal colony on Earth ... so there are at least three locations on 24th century Earth that the devs and art team can draw upon if they want to expand player zones on Earth (which would be nice).
I don't know how much we've seen of Qo'nos outside the capital and the New Romulus landscape is a completely blank canvas for the devs and art team to work with, so I don't see why we can't have more ground locations on Earth, Qo'nos, and New Romulus.
Speaking of extra locations, I wish the Utopia Planetia ship yards around Mars were expanded and made available as a "ground" zone for players to visit all year long. The UP shipyards were established as the "heart" of Starfleet's shipbuilding efforts, so it makes sense that FED players should have access. Heck, maybe even add a location in one of those orbiting spacedocks where FED players can get special ship upgrades that aren't currently available (easy to add a spacedock like that in orbit of Qo'nos and New Romulus as well)
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
