Dautsu

Dautsu (YinYangiese: 大州; Fengin Dàutsū) is the largest state of YinYangia by both area and population. It mostly consists of grasslands and forests, with few urban cities and rural places. It borders Raismang and Xiang to the north, the independent city of Malodin enclaved at the southeast, New Kasukabe to the northwest, and Hapien and Wangxing to the west.

Etymology
Dautsu's name is derived from a YinYangiese term meaning "large state". It has been the colloquial name of the southeastern portion of the island in which YinYangia is situated in. For much of its history, Dautsu had several names, including Souwentsu (草原州, lit. "grassland state"), the most common name.

Geography
Dautsu takes up all of YinYangia's southeast. It is where most of YinYangia's forests are located, due to this, most of the state's cities are located at the coast, although there are a few glaciers. There are a few grasslands at the eastern part of Dautsu.

The average temperature of the state is around 3°C. The lowest temperature was recorded in 1952, at -49°C, and the highest was recorded in 2001, at 33°C.

History
During the Qing period, the area was almost totally uninhabited, due to the fact that people only settled near the coast. In 1799, when the Gawudzan Republic was established, the government encouraged the YinYangiese people to settle on the center, but some refused due to the area being dominated with forests.

On the grasslands, many people established homes. More people started to migrate to the area, which was named, "Dautsu", in 1850. Gawudzan's capital, Muliuden, was created near the southeastern coast of Dautsu.

In 1890, most of the grassland area was reserved to the proposed Dautsu state. To stabilize boundary shapes, its far northern part was ceded to the proposed Russian state, and the western part was ceded to the proposed Western state in 1897. Two years later, the Nayngsu Strip was ceded to the proposed Japanese state, after several tensions and claims that the Nyangsu Strip should belong to the Japanese since it is a rich arable land and could help with their economy. To maintain its shape, a small part was ceded to the newly created Hapien state on December 1, 1899. It was officially established on January 1, 1900.

The state was renamed to "Amrekshakir" by the Toralaq Government in 1937. It, along with all other states, was declared as a province in 1956, but reverted back to a state again in 1976. After the Toralaq Republic's dissolution in 1999, the name of the state was reverted back to Dautsu. Malodin remained as a part of the state, until 2007 when it was declared as an "independent district".

Economy and infrastructure
Dautsu has the largest economy among all the states in YinYangia, controlling over 35% of the country's economy. Its gross state product is $821,904,000,000 as of 2020. As grasslands compose around 60% of the state, agriculture is one of the largest sources of its economy.
