Seoul, the capital of cultural powerhouse Korea. Since Tokyo is located to the east of Seoul, it's 'East-Kyung' (Dong-kyung), and since Beijing is to the north, it's 'North-Kyung' (Buk-kyung). Naturally, Nanjing is 'South-Kyung' (Nam-kyung), located south of Seoul.
So why isn't there a 'West-Kyung'?
We're saving that name! Once Korea conquers the Western barbarians and takes over Rome, we'll declare the Fourth Roman Empire and rename Rome 'West-Kyung' (Seo-kyung).
"We went from conquering Rome and establishing the Fourth Hwan-guk Empire straight into a deep dive on Hanja characters for 'Kyung.' Peak internet."
