Sarangdo (Gohangukian 사랑도, Castellanese Provincia de Amor, Ingerish Loveland) is a town in the Ardisphere, which is, uniquely, an exclave, entirely surrounded by Dandrian territory, situated on the north shore of Lago Moyica (Lac Mojique).

As part of the Colonia Coreana, the town is officially Gohangukian in terms of culture and language, but in fact in recent decades, it has become a fairly cosmopolitan community, due to its international setting and isolation from the Ardispherian mainland across the lake. Sarangdo's current population is about 15,000 inhabitants, in a land area of 25.9 km2.
