'''Louwan''', officially the '''People's Union of Yingok''' ({{wp|Cantonese|Yinese}}: ''燕華人民國''; [[Jinping]]: ''Jin3 Waa4 Jan4 Man4 Gwok3''; [[Yinese Hungshui Hernicisation]]: ''Yin-wàh Yàhn-màhn-gwok''; '''PUY''') is an {{wp|island country}} situated between the [[Alconian Ocean]] to the south and the [[Glacian Ocean]] to the north. Although Louwan is designated as part of [[Elia Borealis]], the state is more culturally and politically linked with [[Abaria]].

The island was formed by a series of {{wp|volcanic eruption}}s in the [[Mid-Alconian Ridge]] some 20 million years ago. Since then, such volcanism as well as {{wp|geyser}}s have characterised the geological activity of Louwan. For much of world history, Louwan was virtually uninhabited until the arrival of [[Yingok|Yinese]] settlers led by [[Chiang Fai]] <!--蔣輝--> in 1405, establishing the eponymous port town of [[Louwan (town)|Louwan]]. However, Louwan did not grow due to its nature as a fringe settlement on the edge of the known world and was eventually abandoned in 1438. This was until when the fragmentation of the [[Artuchid Empire]] and the collapse of trade on the [[Silk Road]] to Calesia drove the [[Hon Dynasty]] to seek western routes across the ocean. Thus, Louwan was recolonised in 1475 while [[Elia Borealis]] itself would be discovered a few years later. Louwan prospered over the next few centuries, due to its position as a natural outpost and {{wp|entrepót}} between [[Abaria|Western Abaria]], the Elias, and [[Calesia]]. During the 18th to 19th century, Louwan acted as a {{wp|penal colony}} for various ethnic minorities who rebelled on the mainland.
 
During the Fourth Winter Period, the Confederacy Coalition assumed control over the island following the [[Louwanese War]] between 1902 to 1906, later being integrated into the [[Yingok#Second Republic|Second Yinese Republic]] in 1913. During the [[Yinese Civil War]], the [[Kongchangtong]] took over the colony in the [[Louwanese Campaign]] in 1969. In the conflicts aftermath, the defeated [[Combinationalism|combinationalist]]-communist government was forced evacuated to Louwan in an event known as the [[Retreat of the People's Union of Yingok to Louwan|Great Retreat]], where they established a new {{wp|government-in-exile}} under {{wp|martial law}}. Since then, the jurisdiction of the PUY have been limited to [[Louwan Island|Louwan]], [[Leimun]], and other islands in the {{wp|archipelago}}. Since the 1990s, Louwan has experienced significant internal development, entering a period of large-scale {{wp|industrialisation}} and economic growth known as the [[Senging Miracle]]. By the late-2000s, Louwan had established itself as a strong {{wp|trading nation|export-oriented industrial economy}}, ranking highly in {{wp|GDP per capita}} and economically focusing on steel, machinery, electronics, and chemicals manufacturing.
 
The [[Louwan question|international political status of Louwan is contentious]]. The PUY maintained its claim of being the sole legitimate government of Yingok despite the existence of the official government of the Fourth Republic on the mainland until 2008, when it officially [[Gutdong Agreement|acknowledged]] its control over mainland Yingok. Despite this, the PUY continues to recognise itself as the rightful government of Yingok and that the ROY is a "[[Louwan–Yingok relations|usurper regime]]". Louwan [[Foreign relations of Louwan|maintains normal diplomatic ties]] with many of the world's nations although very few recognise the PUY as the legitimate administration of Yingok.

Louwan, officially the People's Union of Yingok (Yinese: 燕華人民國; Jinping: Jin3 Waa4 Jan4 Man4 Gwok3; Yinese Hungshui Hernicisation: Yin-wàh Yàhn-màhn-gwok; PUY), is an island country situated between the Alconian Ocean to the south and the Glacian Ocean to the north. Although the Louwanese archipelago is designated as part of Elia Borealis, the country is more culturally and politically linked with Abaria. The capital and largest city of Louwan is Senging, home to about 32.5% of the country's population of 11,241,400 as of 2021.

The island was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions in the Mid-Alconian Ridge some 20 million years ago. Since then, such volcanism as well as geysers have characterised the geological activity of Louwan. For much of world history, Louwan was virtually uninhabited until the arrival of Yinese settlers led by Chiang Fai in 1405, establishing the eponymous port town of Louwan. However, Louwan did not grow due to its nature as a fringe settlement on the edge of the known world and was eventually abandoned in 1438. This was until when the fragmentation of the Artuchid Empire and the collapse of trade on the Silk Road to Calesia drove the Hon Dynasty to seek western routes across the ocean. Thus, Louwan was recolonised in 1475 while Elia Borealis itself would be discovered a few years later. Louwan prospered over the next few centuries, due to its position as a natural outpost and entrepót between Western Abaria, the Elias, and Calesia. During the 18th to 19th century, Louwan acted as a penal colony for various ethnic minorities who rebelled on the mainland.

During the Fourth Winter Period, the Confederacy Coalition assumed control over the island following the Louwanese War between 1902 to 1906, later being integrated into the Second Yinese Republic in 1913. During the Yinese Civil War, the Kongchangtong took over the colony in the Louwanese Campaign in 1969. In the conflicts aftermath, the defeated combinationalist-communist government was forced evacuated to Louwan in an event known as the Great Retreat, where they established a new government-in-exile under martial law. Since then, the jurisdiction of the PUY have been limited to Louwan, Leimun, and other islands in the archipelago.
