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 Cadasa 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 is a corruption of the name of the aboriginials in Polungitia.

In the 1700s, the Plunigita sultanate resisted European colonialism by trading with Europeans and supporting British and French rule over several Nesionytan countries. Around the same period as Dajankagru, in 1780, the sultanate was transformed into a republic. Plunigita became the first Nesionytan country to industrialize in 1785, allowing trade and investment. By the 1800s, the country became the richest in the archipelago. However, racial discrimination and slavery against the Prunnitja caused the government to be overthrown and replaced by the Republic of Polungitia in 1831, immediately becoming the first Nesiondalsan country to abolish slavery. The ban on slavery caused most Kamhadians to flee, and because they greatly contributed to Polungitia's economy, trade declined and Polungitia's economy was greatly harmed, leaving Polungitia as one of the poorest countries in Nesiondalsa. 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, due to Khalid Meshrafi's deposition. Since then, the economy of Polungitia rose quickly and later became one of the richest states in the Nesiondalsa. It remained neutral during the Cold War, but it condemned Ulakisonia's invasion of Toalugi and aided the CCGT during the First Nesionytan War.
