中非 Central African Republic 班吉 Bangui

The Chinese prefecture names are phonetic. Words like "basse" and "haut" are translated as "lower - 下" and "upper - 上" from the Chinese.

The word "Central African Republic" is translated as "Central - 中" "Africa - 非"

Phonetic Chinese names are formed mostly from a large group of individual words used universally in translating syllables of names around the world. The translations are more or less interesting. As Chinese people spend time living in and working in all the different places around the world that are new to China, eventually, deeper, more complicated, better names are evolved from that experience. For example, cities, which are long familiar to Chinese people, like Mumbai, Moscow, Rome, Cairo, and more recently Paris, London, New York and Honolulu, have names which don't necessarily use words from the long list of descriptive phonetic names.

The phonetic names are kind of nice. For example, Bangui - 班吉 - is literally "Team Luck", or "Bian Jie". This is a perfectly typical phonetic place name in Chinese.
