Kyaw Cen City, officially the City of Kyaw Cen, often simply called Kyaw Cen, was the de jure capital city and namesake of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen located on the Isles of Silly inbetween Šingcun and Marcyland. It was first worked on mid-November 2023 as the capital city of a new empire. Though, due to poor urban planning, the government, including the Quing, has moved to Yija in February 2024, making Kyaw Cen City an unfinished ghost town until the greenification and its dissolution on 27 April 2024, when it was replaced by Parkow.

Etymology

Kyaw Cen comes from Kyawcenni ကြဝ်ခဲန် kyawcen meaning "sand island". This is because the island the city was built on was largely made of sand before it was covered by Kyaw Cen's stone brick foundation. Though it can still be seen in the Kyawcenni underground.

Construction

Kyaw Cen City, at that time just called Kyaw Cen, has started construction in November 2023 and has been consistently growing until late January 2024.

Burning Mall Disaster

Damage caused by the fire in the Burning Mall Disaster

On 28 December 2023, the construction of the Birchwood Mall was interrupted by what the government of Kyaw Cen calls the Burning Mall Disaster, which was triggered by Marcy's attempt at destroying Netherrack by setting a placed Netherrack block inside the Pokenxi mine on fire and burning the Netherrack in the flames. Afterwards, Marcy left the mine. It was not until a couple of minutes later when she had realized that the whole building was on fire. Panicking, Marcy had asked for help and died three times. Luckily, the fire was put out by her in the matter of a few minutes and no other people were harmed.

Greenification

Following the founding of Yija in February, Kyaw Cen City has been largely abandoned until a revival was proposed by the Quing to rebuild the city a few months later. On 19 April 2024, the Greenification of the city began. The eastern half of Kyaw Cen Island has been flattened and greenified and on 21 April, the first new house has been built in the city since January.

Dissolution

Ever since the abandonment of Kyaw Cen City, a dissolution, replacement or renaming of the city have been considered. But a new name hasn't been proposed until its revival and greenification in April 2024. The contestants have been Lezonna/Lizonna (from Kyawcenni lêzaunne meaning jungle) and Parkow (from Kyawcenni parkow meaning vacation and leisure). On 27 April 2024, Kyaw Cen City and the West Sheep Island and Sandcastle Island Procectorate have been officially dissolved by the Quing and replaced by the city of Parkow.
