Bangju

Bangju is a region located on the western edge of Yeongju. Bangju has a population of 77 million. It is often grouped with the cultural region of Sinju due to Bangju's long history with northern Jungju, though Bangju has its own brand of Sinjuism. The region is home to some of the world's greatest colonial and economic powers, such as Basanreseri and Tosan. Bangju has a wide rage of diverse culture, cuisine, language, and arts, a lot of which are highly influential throughout Yedal and Namju.

Prehistory
Bangju first formed approximately 2.7 billion years ago when the supercontinent of Daeyukju split apart into the continents of Yeongju and Jungju.

Human Migration
Human migration to Bangju first occurred in 40,000 BCE when a small wave homo-sapien tribes of nomads particularly arrived in Bangju. The nomadic tribes then for the most part settled in west and southwest Bangju. By 1,000 BCE ago a second, very much generally larger wave of Fusenic and Kapukic tribes migrated to Bangju, a few centuries before a series of floods and tectonic plate shifts submerged the Bangju-Sinju landbridge which significantly caused human migration to decrease. Human migration entirely stopped as a results of rising sea levels, as well as a change in the climate submerging the Jungju-Bangju landbridge. Kapukic peoples had settled in western Bangju, mainly in present-day Basanreseri. Fusenic peoples spread throughout all of Bangju, having a kind of high presence in the north, northwest, and southwest regions, which significantly shaped the languages and cultures of the area. By 1700 BC Fusenic languages came to dominate the region, and ethnic groups of Fusenic ancestry began to emerge. Basanreserian groups also began to spread within the area.

Cheonje
Cheonje, an ancient empire which at its prime encompassed a majority of Jungju as well as Bangju. The empire had proper sovereignty in the area, such as Shojin and Igu which where part of Cheonje proper. Other states in Bangju, such as Sujin served a tributary states.

Medieval Bangju
The medieval period was a massively influential period in Bangjuan history, as it mostly composed of multiple countries grappling for control in order to expand their kingdoms.

Colonial Era
It is well-known to historians that Bangju did have a small number of colonial powers, two of them being Tosan and Basanreseri. From the seventeenth century to the twentieth, Tosan and Basanreseri established themselves as massive colonial powers, conquering and subjugating swathes of land. The two powers even owned colonise in the same area, for instance- Namju.

Geography
Bangju is located on the far southwest region of the Yeongju continent, Bangju also borders Aeyu, Aeyu being another region of Yeongju just north of Bangju. Bangju is separated from the rest of Yeongju via the Daidongsan Mountains and Golden river. The region is home to flat grasslands, hills, small lakes and deserts. The highest peak in Bangju is Gakkichoe-san, a mountain located in central Basanreseri. In addition to Gakichoe, the Tenmong Mountains serve as the second largest mountainous region in all of southwest Bangju.

Further north in central Bangju lies lucious, green forests vibrant with wildlife. The majority of these forests are located in Kinshu and Tosan.
