Chung'anAlso uncommonly spelt Zhong'an (usually in Mainland Chinese contexts), Chungan (usually in colloquial writing), or Chung An (historically until the mid-1980s). The apostrophe in the city's name is official and serves to distinguish its pronunciation as "chung-an" compared to "chun-gan", in line with common Chinese romanisation practice. (/ˈtʃʌŋən/; Chinese/Japanese: 中安, Pinyin: Zhōng'ān, POJ: Tiong-an, Hepburn: Nakayasu, lit. Centre of Peace), known as Palmerston until 1947, is the fifth-most populous city in Enderron, and most populous city in Longshan Prefecture and Northern Enderron. It is located in the northern corner of the prefecture, on the coast of Shangzhou Bay and directly adjacent to the border with Greenberg. It is the northernmost major metropolitan area in the country. Residents of the city are known as "Chunganites". As of October 2018, Chung'an's metropolitan population is estimated to be 1,299,367, corresponding to 82 percent of Longshan's population.
Since its founding in the 19th century, Chung'an has grown from a small trading village into the economic centre of northern Enderron. Its key industries are light manufacturing, information technology, freight transport and engineering. The Port of Chung'an is one of Enderron's busiest and largest ports. The city also has growing tourism, finance and service industries. The entire city was known as Palmerston from its founding until 1947; since then the greater metropolitan area has been known as Chung'an, and the original name survives as the name of the historical city centre.
Chung'an is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Enderron. It is also one of the most racially segregated, with a distinct contrast between different areas with ethnic groups. The city as a whole has a majority-minority population, with the largest ethnic group being Chinese Enderronians (32.2%). In particular, Enderronians of Fujianese and Taiwanese descent form a significant proportion of the city's population and form a majority in several suburbs. English, Mandarin and Hokkien are used as lingua francas across the city. The city is also home to significant Filipino (5.9%) and Vietnamese (2.2%) communities, which are clustered in the city's working-class north.
Unusually, Chung'an's name is rendered in English using the Wade–Giles romanisation system, while most other place names of Chinese origin in Longshan have adopted Hanyu Pinyin spelling since the 1980s.
