Ńwien King

Ńwien King (Dieu: 原京), sometimes referred to as Viān King, is the capital and largest city of Daidieu and the eponymous province. With a population of 8,092,408, it compromises 41.47% of Daidieu's population and is the largest city.

Settled in the ancient times, Ńwien King is the economic, financial, political, and cultural hub of Daidieu.

History
Ńwien was settled in the 60s BC by Chinese settlers. When the Vietnamese arrived in 938, they greatly developed the city. They named the city Sạn Nyǒ (𡓏𡮈), which means "courtyard" in Vietnamese, after they built a lush green garden in the centre of the newly constructed administrative palace (today that's the Emperor's Palace).

During the period where Daidieu was under French rule, the city was the capital of Est-Tonkin Province. In 1860, Sạn Nyǒ became part of the newly formed French Indochina. The name was corrupted to Sonnou. It would later be renamed to Ńwien King in 1954.

Under communist rule (1972-1984), most of the colonial buildings and temples were destroyed. The communists converted the largest Buddahist temple in the city to a prison housing political prisoners. The prison, simply named Camp 001 (Dieu: 家囚 001/Kyà tű 001), was notorious for its torture and extremely poor conditions.

The city's infrastructure improved during the economic growth in the late 1980s. Many skyscrapers and highways were built and Ńwien King became a wealthy and powerful city. A metro system was built in 1995.

Government
Ńwien King is the political centre of Daidieu. Many government buildings are located here, like the Emperor's Palace and the legislature.

The mayor of Viān King is Hǎu Ki Tróng (侯機聰), who is part of the NDP.
