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; to the north lies the Borrhean Ocean, and to the west the Immanic Ocean. Its population of 6.7 million is almost entirely concentrated in the Hanbu Megaregion, 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.
The penninsula has been populated by mankind for tens of thousands of years, having served as one of the entry points of mankind from the Old World to Arcadia by way of its proximity to Huaxia. The earliest explorations of the area by Huaxia was undertaken in the 1500s by the explorer Ming Huan as part of a greater expedition along the Arcadian western coast; the first permanent settlement of Huaxian colonists in the territory of modern Donnan was established in 1615 at New Donghai, 7 years after the founding of Fusang farther south.
