Etymology
The name for the Orientia in Korean is written 동연방국 (pronounced Dongyeon Bangguk, meaning "Federal Republic of The East"), but often shorten as Dongguk or Tongguk. Before 동국 was adopted in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries were known as China (exonym from Qin, fomerly a dynasty in China. The name of the country in Chinese, 中国, literally means "central empire"), Korea (from Goryeo, 고려, meaning "walled city" [1]), and Russia (Россия, meaning "country of Rus"). Dongguk is typically used both in everyday speech and formal speech. The characters 동국 mean "eastern country" or "country in the eastern edge".
Orientia, the name of the country in English is the combination of orient meaning "east" and suffix -ia meaning land, which is the literal transliteration of the Korean name for the country. The word orient derived from Middle Anglican orient, oriente, oryent, oryente, oryentte (“the east direction; eastern horizon or sky; eastern regions of the world, Orient; eastern edge of the world”), borrowed from Old French orient (“east direction; Asia, Orient”), or directly from its etymon Latin oriēns (“the east; daybreak, dawn; sunrise; (participle) rising; appearing; originating”).
History
Pre-Independence
Independent countries before Orientia collapsed in 2040 with the World War 3, when the People's Republic of China imploded, and other neighboring countries were contested between Russia and the United States, both proposed a partition plan for the continent. The partition plan underwent several changes until the final change was approved under the Treaty of Taipei in 2042. Koreans, being the sole survivor of the war, was appointed by the Earth League to rebuild East Asia, resulting in the creation of Orientia. While the remaining Chinese who escaped the conflict, especially those who took refuge in Southeast Asia, founded Nanyang Empire led by Zhao Ganfu.
- ↑ The word Korea is the English exonym for Goryeo. It was a native Korean word, probably pronounced something like "Guri", transcribed with various Chinese characters: 高句麗, 高勾麗, or 高駒麗 (고구려, Goguryeo), 高麗 (고려, Goryeo), 高離 (고리, Gori), or 句麗 (구려, Guryeo). The source native name is thought to be either *Guru ("walled city, castle, fortress"; attested in Chinese historical documents, but not in native Korean sources) or *Gauri ("center, middle"; cf. Middle Korean *gaβɔndɔy and Standard Modern Korean gaunde 가운데).
