Balangyan

Balangyan is the second-largest city of Usheigep, after the capital Darrutrami. Sitting on the mouth of the Doluan River on the northwestern coast of the country, it is the capital and largest city of Balangyan Province. Balangyan has a population of 3,001,482 and a metro population of 7.5 million people, which is the second-largest metro area in Usheigep. It is the political, economic, cultural, and educational centre of the Temubasi region, and has historically been an economic hub for Usheigep, as its port is one of the busiest in Nesiondalsa.

History
The Balangyan area was one of the first settlements developed outside of the Valoypu region. During the 9th century CE, Balangyan came under the domain of the Valoypu Kingdom. However, it still remained a small fishing village until the 15th century when the Usheigep Empire was declared.

By the 17th century, Balangyan had become a maritime and commercial hub due to its location along the coastline. In 1701, Emperor Tisaran built the Prabodhan Palace in Balangyan, which was the second-largest imperial palace after the main one in Darrutrami.

The British began colonizing northern Usheigep in 1872, and Balangyan continued to grow. Balangyan was the largest city of British Usheigep for much of its existance as Darrutrami, the largest city, was divided into British and French sections. The British also began using Balangyan's port for trading resources such as rubber and bananas. In addition, due to its location, many immigrants from countries such as Anchajayuja and Maryaadah settled in the city.

Following independence in 1904, Balangyan entered a period of decline as economic activity began to be focused towards Darrutrami. Slums, unemployment, and poverty began to appear, especially in the Atakansapa and Dopa areas.
