Aunglan (formerly known as Allanmyo & Myede) is the biggest city in Thayet District of the Magway Region of Myanmar. It is a port on the left (eastern) bank of the Irrawaddy, across and just north of Thayetmyo,[1] between the cities of Pyay (Prome), Taungdwingyi (Prome) and Magway. It is the administrative seat for Aunglan Township.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Anyway, at some point palaiologos seems to have decided that the server needed a substantial overhaul.(For video purposes you should of course find screenshots of all this stuff; I think much of it was in staff chat though)
