Tuchan (Tuchanese: 沈国; pinyin: Shěnguó; lit.: 'State of the Shen'), officially the Zohist State of Tuchan (Tuchanese: 沈华鄒国; Shěnhuá Zōuguó), is a country in Isuan. With a population of 445 million, and an area covering approximately x million square kilometres (x million mi2), it is the world's most populous country, and the world's largest country by area.
One of the world's cradles of civilisation, the Beifong and Hongse rivers provided fertile ground for numerous pre-dynastic polities and nations. After the unification of Tuchan in the 2nd century BCE, Tuchan has been governed cyclically by numerous dynasties, along with various periods of division.
Names
The name "Tuchan" is an exonym, and has been in common usage since the 11th century. It has its origin in the Dharavi word Tucchyána. Via Myrian and Pergalean Toúchanai and Tucanae this became Mirician Tuchan.
The word Toúchanai was allegedly first attested by Kephalon, in his now lost works, after his voyages to Ancient Dharavat sometime in the 4th century BCE. The Dharavi word Tucchyána, which means vast emptiness, referred to the Calidine ocean, but this distinction was not retained by those writing about Kephalon's accounts. The cognate Toheng, from Pouremanian tuhīg was the more common name until the 11th century. It was distinguished between Near Toheng, which roughly referred to modern-day Dharavat and the western regions of Tuchan, and Far Toheng, which referred to Tuchan-proper as well as Kosan and northern Tsukigata.
The official name of Tuchan is the "Zohist State of Tuchan" (Tuchanese: 沈华鄒国; Shěnhuá Zōuguó), while the more common form is "Tuchan" (Tuchanese: 沈国 Shěnguó). This is the shortened form of Shěnhuáguó (沈华国). Guó (国) means "state", while Shěnhuá (沈华) means "civilisation of the Shen", with Shěn (沈) deriving from the Shen dynasty and huá (华) being a shortened form of Huáxià which means "land of illustrious clothing and grand ritual", a byword for civilisation.
