Rangoon (modern-day Yangon, Myanmar) is a location in 80 Days. It has been ravaged by the last Anglo-Burmese war, but King Pagan has been able to win the hearts and minds of the citizens of Rangoon, much to the chagrin of the officials in Whitehall and Buckingham Palace.
Events[]
One of the enduring pieces of gossip about Rangoon that Passepartout hears in his travels is that of a dragon which prowls the street at night devouring people with "evil thoughts". Not long after arriving, Passepartout discovers the creature is in fact an intelligent automaton, which calls itself Manussiha. It was originally a mechanical toy in the royal nursery who began to devour other toys and thus build itself into a larger-than-life machine.
