Polungitia

Polungitia (Polungitian: Prunnitja [proːŋitdʑa]), officially known as Democratic Republic of Polungitia (Polungitian: Prunnitja Nnalayaweite Saoweleni [proːŋitdʑa ŋalajaːweˈiʈe sãweleni]), is an island country in the northern region of the Nesionytan Islands. It is located south of Awanzoria and west of the Shimbori Islands, and is mainly a pair of two islands, along with six other small islands, mostly uninhabited.

The indigenous Tawleans migrated to modern day Polungitia from in 8000 BC. With the establishment of the Prunnitja civilization, it is one of the oldest Nesionytan civilizations. Mainly settled in the Humani island, the Prunnitja civilization had contact with the Kagrash and Borundian civilizations throughout its history. In 130 AD, due to high taxation and slavery, some of the Prunnitja fled to what is now known as Awanzoria. The civilization prevailed until the late 1300s, with Islamic invaders taking control of the Polungitian islands. In 1390, Tajuddin Khan, a Borundian Muslim, established the Sultanate of Plunigita, which was possibly the origin of the country's current name.

In the 1700s, the Plunigita sultanate resisted European colonialism by supporting British and French rule over several Nesionytan countries. Around the same period as Dajankagru, in 1780, the sultanate was transformed into a republic, being renamed to Polungitia in English. The country's name in its native language, however, remained unchanged. Polungitia became the first Nesionytan country to industrialize in 1785, allowing trade and investment. By the 1800s, the country became the richest in the archipelago. It was also the first Nesionytan country to abolish slavery in 1831. In 1902, to avoid Kamhadian influence, Polungitia merged with Shimbori Islands to form the Shimbori Confederation, which lasted for less than a decade. In 1911, Polungitia became independent again. It mostly remained neutral, but supported the CCGT during the First Nesionytan War and heavily aided them.
