"Representative for..." or "Representative of..."

I'm writing an Article about Nepal and I have a question regarding a sentence.

which one is more correct?

"Kathmandu is not Representative of Nepal"

or

"Kathmandu is not representative for Nepal"

representative would be an adverb in this case.

i e: Kathmandu doesn't serve as a good example for Nepal as a whole.
