Gunung

The People's Republic of Gunung (: Républik Rahayat Ganung), commonly known as Gunung (: Ganung) or Ganung, is a located in southern Jungju. It shares a maritime, as well as a land border with Barujaya to the west, a land border with TBA to the north, and shares a maritime border with TBA to the east. Gunung's name derives from the name for shrimp, as Gunung had, and still runs, an efficient shrimp trawling industry, due to the sheer amount of shrimps that tend to be thriving in the seas around Gunung. Mainland Gunung is divided into 9, excluding Tengkaraya island, which forms its own canton. The capital, Praburong, is located on Tengkaraya island and has a population of around 900,000, while the island itself has a total population of around 3 million.

Early History
It is not known when the first native Gunungese arrived to modern day Gunung, but it is widely believed that they walked from south Jungju via a land bridge that was present there at the time. Genetic studies have shown that the Gunungese are a little different from the peoples inhabiting southern Jungju, making scientists to believe that there may have been some mixing between the Gunungese and another group that is currently unknown. What scientists do know, is that the earliest forms of civilization in modern day Gunung originated somewhere around 2000-1100 BCE.

According to the Pencerahan religion, the first people came down through the stairs from the sky to the north of what is now present day Gunung. Geneticists claim that the first native Gunungese actually originally inhabited the north of Gunung, and only then they spread to the rest of Gunung. The first Gunungese are famous for the creation of several megalithic structures, such as burial mounds, and this tradition continued until the 19th century. It is assumed that most of the clans that shared Gunung where heavily reliant on Barujayan merchants, who more than often were willing to trade with slaves.

Unification
Before the unification of Gunung, also known as the Layung war, Gunung was divided into numerous tribes and clans, fighting each other for power and food, and they had been doing so since the dawn of time. Minor wars between clans where common and these often erupted because of hunger, as the practised the  cultivation method, which more than often gave insufficient harvests, leading to famine, eventually erupting into wars.

The leader of one of these clans, Radja Bohai, had, according to the legend, a holy vision, where he was pictured as the strong leader and unifier of his people. It is not known if this legend is true and scientists still debate this question today. Radja Bohai was the leader of one of the bigger clans present in Gunung at the moment, the Pekasi clan. One day, Bohai set out on his quest to conquer the other clans and tribes with his large army, mainly composed of warriors and some pockets of archers. He successfully invades and conquers the neighbouring clan, and occupies the mythical city of Jakaya, gaining the attention of several clans. Some decide to support him in his quest, but others don't, instead they oppose him and try to maintain their clan independent, and so, the Layung war begins.

Gunung was divided into two camps, the supporters of Bohai, and the opposition. The first years of the wars where dotted with opposition victories and everything started to go downhill for Bohai and his supporters, but according to the legend, before the Battle of Manapang commenced, Radja Bohai sat on his knees praying to the gods, that the victory would come out in their favor. Like a miracle, the Bohai faction won the battle, and many historians consider it to be a turning point in the Layung war. Following that victory, the goal for a united Gunung started to shine brighter, with Bohai winning more and more battles. Finally in the year 722 CE, the last opposition holdout surrendered, and it is said that the sun shone brighter than ever on that day. Bohai himself, never got to experience it, as he had died from, 24 years earlier. Yet, his sons got to experience it, and they where praised as the liberators they were. A new golden age for Gunung began
