Nukigurun

Nukigurun (: Nuki gurun), officially the Federal Republic of Nukigurun (Nuki:  Nuki gurun rienbang gonghuaguk), is a country located in Northwest Sinju and North Yoju and the world's largest country, with a total area covering over X sq km. It stretches from the Dandgo Sea in the east all the way to Mungnang Sea in the west, and also to the north borders much of the Northern Ocean. Approximately 52% of people live in Eastern, Sinju part of Nukigurun, while 28% and 20% of people approximately live in the less-populated Alinwargia and Birawargia respectively. Its capital, Cingging, is one of the largest cities in the world; other major cities include X, X, and X.

Nukic peoples first emerge in Sinju records during the 4rd century BCE. Various Nukic peoples inhabited the coast as well as inland Nukigurun. For several centuries, Nukis along the coast of the Dangdo Sea were part of an extensive and intricate trade network which spread across much of Western Sinju.

Nukigurun was officially established in 1559 under Damin and began its massive western expansion beginning in the latter half of the 16th century.

The country is a recognized nuclear weapons state and possesses significant stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Nukigurun is both a great and regional power and has been characterized as a potential superpower.

Etymology
The earliest usage of Nuki appears in the X. While the actual etymology of Nuki is debated, it is widely believed to derive from the word nuk-, meaning "brave." Gurun means "country" in Nuki, and the name of the country can thus be translated as "Nuki Land" or "Land of the Nukis." Nukigurun is also widely referred to as Yongguk, a based on the presumed Nuki meaning of Nukigurun popularized in the 17th century, meaning "brave country" in.

Classical period
Several Nuki city states operated along the coast of the Dangdo Sea.

Unification and expansion
Damin unified the inland Forest Nukis and declared the establishment of Nukigurun in 1559. By 1567, he had conquered most of the city-states in Yoju which made up the Tengiztop Federation, including its capital, X. A new capital, Cingging, was constructed at the mouth of the Black River based on Tianqic designs in 1569. His son, Xanggiyan, began Nukigurun's significant western expansion.

The period following unification saw significant efforts to emulate Sinju within Nukigurun. Whereas the coastal areas of Nukigurun had long had contact with Sinju and adopted many Central ways, the new ruling class under the X dynasty was primarily of the less developed, and in the eyes of much of Sinju, uncivilized wild Nukis of the plains and forests.

The greatest of these reforms occurred under the reign of X.

By X, Nukigurun was a recognized empire of the Sinju Congress.

Military
Nukigurun has a large and fully indigenous arms industry, importing only a few types of weapons and exporting weapons to about 90 countries.
