Donnan (Huaxian: 東寒国 Dōnghánguó), officially the Republic of Donnan (東寒民国 Dōnghán Mínguó), is a sovereign state located in northwesternmost part of Arcadia. Donnan is bordered to the south by Federal Union of Arcadia and to the west by the Immanic Ocean.
Its population of 6.7 million is almost entirely concentrated in the Hanbu Metropolitan Area, which spans the southwestern coast of the country and includes the capital city Pinkong, as well as Hanbu and Chunnay. Other notable cities include Songshuwan, located in the southeast, and Beihaijia, the northernmost settlement in Donnan and in Arcadia as a whole.
Etymology
The name Donnan is an Estarian corruption of the Huaxianese name Dōnghán, the first two characters of the Huaxianese name Dōnghánguó (東寒国), which translates literally to "east-cold-country", or more generally to "The frigid land to the east". This name was coined by the Huaxianese explorers when they discovered the land of Donnan.
The continent of Arcadia is more generally referred to in Huaxianese as Fusang, a mythical tree of Huaxian folklore that lay east of Huaxia; the name was also applied to the first permanent Huaxianese settlement in Arcadia, which now lies within the territory of the Federal Union. The name Fusangguo was a popular alternative name for Donnan in the early years of nationhood but is not found within the text of the Guiding Charter.
