Pyinmana (Burmese: ပျဉ်းမနားမြို့; MLCTS: pyanymana: mrui., pronounced [pjɪ́ɰ̃məná mjo̰]; population: 100,000 (2006 estimate)) is a logging town and sugarcane refinery center in the Naypyidaw Union Territory of Myanmar. The administrative capital of Myanmar was officially moved to a militarized greenfield site (which the leader, Than Shwe, dubbed Naypyidaw, or Royal City) two miles (3.2 km) west of Pyinmana on November 6, 2005. As of 2014, the city has an urban population of 72,010.[1]

During World War II, Pyinmana was the base of the Burma Independence Army (later renamed and reorganized into the Burma Defence Army by the Japanese).[2]
