Chungmu Province (Zhenian: 충무도), formerly referred to as Gyeongju Province (Zhenian: 경주도) is a Zhenian province located in the center of the Danguk Peninsula, with its provincial capital being Arisu. Being home to over 56 million residents, it is the second most populous province in the nation, mostly due to the proximity to Donggyeong; almost a third of the province's residents live within 80 kilometers of the Donggyeong Special City, adding up to become one of the major nodes of the Danguk Peninsula Megalopolis.

Even before it got its former name, Gyeongju Province was considered agriculturally important in the Danguk Peninsula, being home to much of the Central Danguk Plain as well as the Danbon River basin. Later, it was coined with its former name, Gyeongju Province, with the designation of Donggyeong as the capital of the Shindan dynasty; the areas surrounding the new capital city were all designated 'Gyeongju Province', or 'Capital Province'. Although already a major agricultural and population center of the Danguk Peninsula before the 19th century, it experienced extensive population growth since the Empire of Zhenia amid rapid industrialization of the Danguk Peninsula. It was renamed Chungmu Province in 1878 in honor of Li Shan, whose posthumous name was 'Chungmu-gong'.

Today, Chungmu Province remains a major population and economic center of Zhenia, being situated at the eastern core of the Golden Arc region. While the second-most populous province in the nation after Balhae Province, it has the largest total purchasing power parity in the nation at over $1.9 trillion, due to the province hosting considerable parts of the [[Wikipedia:high-tech industry|]] facilities that had expanded from Donggyeong in the later half of the past century.
