Laranjeiras (Laranjeirian: Laranjeiras, Portuguese: Laranjeiras), officially the Confederative Republic Of Laranjeiras or Laranjeirian Confederation is a country in the southwestern part of Outernatia. Covering a territory of 961,907 km km2 it is among the biggest countries on the continent, bordering Auspikitan to the north, Ponásikwa to the northeast, Timivar to the southwest and Marvelia in the southeast. To the west lies the Western Ocean. Its capital is Pomar. It is divided into 4 regions and a submarine territory. As of 2014, the population of Laranjeiras accounts for 200,004,000 people.
The Laranjeirian statehood dates back to the 3th century with the Sulorian Confederation,that now corresponds to the countries of Laranjeiras and Hanzyuki. After a long past of alliance, Laranjeiras and Hanzyuki,along with some other countries created the Sulorian Confederation, a personal union between the two states, which became a major political factor in Internatia up until the 21th century. In the late 21th century the Confederation was partitioned between Republic of Hanzyuki, Nequalia,Laranjeiras and Republic of Javland, but after the civil war that succeded that partition,Nequalia and Javland were annexed by Laranjeiras.
As of now, Laranjeiras has a very high-income market economy, and scores "very high" on the Human Development Index. The abundance of natural resource,the rapidly growing economy and the very high HDI make some scholars to refer to Laranjeiras as a "Southwest Giant". It is a founding member of the Council of Outernatia.
Etymology
The country's name derives from the ancient kingdom Gāndhāra (Sanskrit: गन्धार), that lasted from the Vedic period (ca.1750–500 BCE). The kingdom was located in modern day Sadat. The origin of the name is not certain, but it has been suggested that it originates from the Sanskrit word gandha, meaning perfume, referring to the spices and aromatic herbs which the inhabitants of the ancient kingdom traded and with which they anointed themselves.[1]
History
Sulorian Confederacy
At the beginning of the third century before christ, due to the crescent invasion made by the barbarians, several independent kingdoms decided to
After the death of Mustafa in 1535, his son Mustafa II, also known as Mustafa the Conqueror, ascended the throne. Under Mustafa II, Gandhara entered a period of expansion. The Sultanate prospered under the rule of the committed and effective Sultan. It also flourished economically due to its control of the major overland trade routes of east Outernatia.
Mustafa II expanded the northern frontier of the Sultanate by defeating Dalmadrian tribes in 1537. It was Mustafa's dream to reach the western coast to create a naval presence on the sea and he attacked the New Kingdom of Lettuce (Spanish: Nuevo Reino de Lettuce), a colony of the Spanish Emire, in 1538. It was the start of the Gandhari-Spanish War that lasted for 23 years, until Spain was defeated during the Battle of Shibam in 1561.
