Naypyidaw
On 6 November 2005, the administrative capital of the country was quietly relocated from Yangon to a greenfield site about north of where it had been, with minimal explanation from the government. The new capital's official name was made public on 27 March 2006, Myanmar's Armed Forces Day. Construction of this planned city began in 2002 and was completed by 2012.
