Etymology

The name for Hangoku comes from the Hangen characters '瀚' meaning ocean and '国' meaning country and is pronounced Hangoku or Hankoku.

Throughout most of the 20th century, Hangoku was known internationally as the Lotus Kingdom and later the Lotus Republic, the name being taken from the sea in which Hangoku is located. Following the Hangoku Liberation War, the new government made an appeal to the international community to standardise the name in all languages as Hangoku.
