Geography
Janghwa M.C. is located at the southwestern region of the MRT Gamma World where the MRT Mesa Line and the MRT Circle Line intersect with each other. The city used to consider itself as sasek gungaeshi (사색군계시, 四色群系市) - The City of Four Biomes, as the four combinations of the desert, the savannah, the mesa, and the ocean forms the city of Janghwa. Janghwa's territory has been reduced during the reformation and it is now a two-biome city (desert and savannah).
The Vermilion Postcode System (VPS) administers Janghwa City entirely as Ward 7 due to the capital building and establishments all inside Sado County. However, Chodo County and Judo County goes by the Ward 6 Region, and therefore is not necessarily true.
Rivers
As the only freshwater source in the city, the Chakdocheon (착도천, 着道川 "Chakdo River") is the largest river that cuts throughout Janghwa M.C. The river enters from the north, where it loops around Chakdo District of Sado County (hence the name), and travels southward out to the ocean. Due to the mostly dry environment of the city, this river acts as a lifeline and is regarded as massively important to life in the city.
The river (along with solar panels) is one of the two sources where the city gets their electricity and energy. Several hydroelectric power turbines are installed throughout the riverline.

During Reformation, Janghwa's territory was reduced due to the city being inactive. Two counties have been lost and are now unclaimed territories (Exempt Vietta island (Provisional. formerly called Juhwa Island (주화도).

| Judo County (주도, 朱道) was the southern county in Janghwa M.C. Its biome was of the mesa, and their official representation color was orange. | Haedo County (해도, 海道) was the western county in Janghwa M.C. Its biome was of the coastal sands, and their official representation color was blue. |
History
Formation
Janghwa City's earliest beginning can be traced back all the way to October 8, 2014, when its prehistoric era had begun. Epicslinkie established a small town named Maldita surrounding the MRT transfer station of Mesa Line's M24 and Circle Line's C70. The city's miniature buildings and roads formed a ring around the massive MRT station, and didn't expand much beyond that. However, Epicslinkie seemed not to have returned after he last left on November 2, 2014, and for many months did Maldita remained abandoned.
Foundation
Supykun joined the MRT server on June 15, 2015, and in three days, discovered the plot around the station of M22 to be a fit spot to grow out a city easily and rapidly. He also wanted to open up the very first Korean town on the server as well. In June 21, 2015, Supykun began polling for which names should be use in the event of actually building a town between Gwangsa and Janghwa. With a poll of 6 to 10, Janghwa was the official name of Supykun's town planned at M22. On June 25, Supykun earned his membership and immediately started constructing the town of Janghwa.
Growth & Conflicts
The town grew rapidly in the beginning, and the size has become massive over the days passed. Janghwa's expansion to the south was blocked after its acquistion of M23 however due to Maldita taking its spot at M24 (C70) in June 25, 2015. This all ended at the GSM in October 7th when Maldita was successfully auctioned off to Janghwa City first shot, and the next day at October 8th, Maldita was absorbed and ceased service; Epicslinkie who was already absent for around a year by then was booted off of administration in the region.
On July 9, 2015, erty10089 wanted to restart another town and decided to give away his town to Supykun. Located at M29, Erty10089 left the town name with New Ertyland (thus the possibility of New Ertyland being much older than North Janghwa). As the agreement was complete, Supykun recieved the ownership of New Ertyland, and shortly after the planning to merge the two cities, the city was renamed to South Janghwa City. However, on July 19, 2015, frozen, who is an admod, discovered the situation and immediately declared the town of M29 to be disowned, as Supykun was still a citizen at the time.
Reformation
When Janghwa City started off, it set its target to become an impressive city via realistic size, and unique designs. Putting that into effect however, raised both praises and criticisms equally, signifying the mixed success of the strategy for the city development. However, as time passed by, the city was becoming more and more of a cookie-cutter standard, and the designs were becoming too basic. Janghwa City went into a reformation period in which many buildings, roads, and other things be demolished and be replaced with an improvement. During the process, most buildings in the city were demolished, road designs, pathways, and the type of architecture that replaced the older ones were vastly different, and the city went through a revolutionary renovation.

Name and Terminology
The name "Janghwa" is a literal Korean derivation word that means "Grand Civillization"; "jang (장, 壯)" as in grandeur, and "hwa (화, 華)" as in culture and civillization. This word was created by using the traditional system of combining two different Hanja letters for naming a city, and hence, Janghwa is not an actual word in the Korean language itself. The name "Janghwa" was selected over "Gwangsa (광사, 光砂 'bright desert')" in a poll done at June 19, 2015 by the vote of 10 over 6. It has been reported that a park located at C20 was to be named Gwangsa National Park, in which is controlled by by QueenSmae.

The transitional color scheme from black to white signifies of how the dark ages of the city were or were to be fought so that the much greater brighter days are to come for the city in the future. The dark gray signifies adventurism, the light gray signifies confidence, and the white signifies hope. The diagonal pattern shows how the city does not go by its original rules, but is rather different and is willing to do new things for improvement.
