Tseng City (state)

Tseng City, officially the State of Tseng City (Chinese: 曾中省), often called Tseng City-Capital (TCC; Chinese: 曾都) to differentiate the city from the state, is a state in the Tseng Republic. It is the largest state by population, but the smallest in area. Its capital and largest city is Tseng City. Tseng City-Capital is considered to be a conurbation, with a number of communter towns, suburbian districts, and cities forming one combined urban area and metropolis.

History
When Port Elizabeth (Tseng City)'s population was going up, British Tseng governors realized they needed to split Georgeville state to even out the population distribution. On June 1, 1885, Port Elizabeth and some surrounding counties split from Georgeville to become Victoria state. In 1946, Victoria was renamed Tseng City temporarily while the government of newly created Tseng decided on a name. However, they couldn't find a compromise, so the name Tseng City stuck.

In 1947, it was decided that Tseng City state would be split between newly created Linshan state and Tseng City Special Administration Area to even out the population distribution. However, Tseng City-Capital was renamed and reinstated in 1950 after Linshan was dissolved.

Recently there have been talks to re-create the Tseng City Special Administrative Area due to Tseng City's large population and importance.

Geography
The geography of Tseng City-Capital is mainly flat, with farmland and urban areas. With the execption of Chiang Kai-shek National Park in the northeast border of the capital, there are relatively few forests and vegetation in the state.
