Shingtsun /ˈʃɪŋ.tsʊn/ (Kyawcenni: Šingcun /ʂiɰ̃.tsyɰ̃t/, Itulankom: Dalankom [da.laŋ̊ˈkom]), also spelled as Šingcun or Shingcun and formerly known as Riverland is the northernmost and most populous republic of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen. It is situated in the southwest of Slabland and consists of the southern part of the Yijan Savanna, most of Shingtin, the Kôpang Archipelago, Pereganesia, Cistsaia, Transtsaia, Vanstèrel, Mariland and other surrounding areas. Its biggest city, as well as its administrative and economic center, is Yija.
Name
The name Shingtsun derives from the Kyawcenni word šingcun meaning Riverland, which has also been the former English name of the region. This name comes from the many rivers that Kyawcenni settlers have found in the region, compared to their homeland of the Isles of Silly and Marcyland, with both regions being riverless.
In the Itulankom language of eastern Shingtsun, formerly spoken in most of Shingtsun until the arrival of Kyawcenni settlers, the area is called Dalankom, meaning Bowlland, referring to the flat nature of the area and its surrounding hills.
Shingtsun was officially known as the Šingcun Autonomous Region until 09 April 2024, when it was renamed to just Šingcun Region. On 18 May, the Kyawcenni Government has reformed the English transcription of Kyawcenni names, making the official name Shingtsun Region until 22 May 2024, when it was renamed to Republic of Shingtsun.
