The Gainan Palace City is the former capital of the Nemuland, formerly a political division of Yonggan lands that has been, since the Earth Kingdom Civil War (Qin's Rebellion) subsumed into Yongganguo.
Gainan Palace City was built during the early years of the Ri Dynasty; the official founding was by the first Imperial Prince of Jin toward the end of the Nara-Hao wars. It was substantially completed early in the reign of the Renxian Emperor. The city consists of a palace complex, inner fortified city, and an outer zone with secondary defenses - somewhat similar to Ba Sing Se, but on a far smaller scale and with nothing particularly equivalent to the agricultural zone. The Ri-era palace was built at a cost of 220,000 silver taels from the feudal revenues of the Imperial Prince of Jin. The last major addition to the palace itself was the Hall of Solar Radiance (日光輝殿), built for the Muri emperor, born Prince Taiku, who the Yonggan khagan attempted to install as a successor to Qin the Great. When the Hao Ting conquered the Gainan palace city, they turned the Hall of Solar Radiance into a marketplace, carrying off its ornamentation as spoils of war. The other palace buildings were similarly stripped and auctioned off, as the Hao Ting felt that grand civic buildings and fortifications might tempt future vassal rulers or ambitious governors. Ultimately, they moved the administrative capital away from Gainan Palace City altogether.
Today, the city remains a significant settlement and commercial center for Yongganguo.
