Nankou

Nankou state (南口省) is a state in the Tseng Republic. Its capital and largest city is Huanzhou.

Nankou is a popular tourist destination because of the climate and the Callandres Coast, an Amalft Coast-style location, with towns like Shishui and Honore located on the side of cliffs.

History
Nankou was founded in 1765 as Quinze colony, a division of French Tseng. It was named for Louis XV, the king of France at the time (XV is 15, and French for 15 is quinze). The original borders only contained Huanzhou (then Bonaparte) and the Callandres Coast.

After the French left in 1790, the British took over and renamed the area to South Coast and expanded the boundaries.

In 1884 the French returned and it retained its original 1765 name (Quinze) until 1938, when the Japanese arrived. The state (prefecture under the Japanese) was called Minamiguchi Prefecture (Japanese: 南口州; Minamiguchi-shū) It was later called Nanguchi Prefecture.

Nankou was one of 4 original states created after the independence of Tseng on July 17, 1946. The rest were Tseng City, Georgeville, Meishan, and Meihua. The state name was changed from Quinze to Nankou on December 28, 1946.
