    		The new capital of Burma (or Myanmar) is called Naypyidaw, the "Abode of Kings."

    "The new city, called Naypyidaw, or Abode of Kings, is being built about 460km (300 miles) north of the old capital, Rangoon."

    		The answer is correct.
    By the way, does anybode know why this name was chosen?
    After all, Myanmar/Burma is a republic, so why the capital of kings?
