Compacipo, officially the Compacipo Autonomous Region (Basaquese: Sabania Xweser a Compacipo), is an autonomous region in Liberto-Ancapistan, lying in western Evrosia and centred on a city of the same name. The region consists of the historical region of Mherta, including the exclave municipality of Mount Hataiig, and is entirely separated from metropolitan Liberto-Ancapistan. With an urban population of over 1.6 million, Compacipo is one of the world's largest planned cities, and is a major centre of manufacturing in the Evrosia region.

The Mherta region was inhabited by fishing peoples and pastoral agriculturalists for most of its history, coming under the control of the Santian Empire in the 16th century and later passing to Liberto-Ancapistan as the Mherta Autonomous Region. A planned city was envisioned in the late 1950s by Liberto-Ancapistanian billionaire Harlan Rand, who hoped to construct a self-governing 'New Industrial City' in Mherta. After talks with financiers and the Liberto-Ancapistanian government, a commission headed by Rand began building the city in the territory. Greatly altering the governance and demographics of the sparsely populated region, the new city was controversial, but was completed and named. The Mherta Autonomous Region was renamed after the city, and Harlan Rand's company Randcorp remained in partial administrative control until 2024.

Etymology

The name 'Compacipo', used from 1965, was created by city founder Harlan Rand, replacing the generic project name 'New Industrial City'. According to Leyla Tosun, a biographer of Rand, the name was intended to sound Santian, without meaning anything in the language. In the announcement of the new name, it was said by Rand to be a "pleasant" and "welcoming" sound, meant to invoke the spirit of the city.

The native name of the region, 'Mherta', is of unclear origin. It first appeared in Santian sources in the 15th century, but is believed to have been derived from native terms. Suggested etymologies vary, including ideas that it originates in a mishearing of 'Mhergag' (large village) or as a contraction of the word and the Santian term 'Costa' (coast).
