Uskad, officially the Republic of Uskad, is a country straddling Southeast Asia and Oceania. It comprises the main island of Uskad, the Tapakrebon Islands, and other smaller islands in the Indian Ocean. It shares maritime borders with Indonesia to its northeast, and Australia to its southeast. The city of Monstad serves as the capital, while the large bustling city of Sampunuwu serves as the financial, commmercial and business centre of the country. With a population of 94 million people, it is one of most populous countries in the world.
The early population of Uskad began as Austronesian people migrating from modern-day Taiwan arrived in Uskad around 4,000 years ago. As the groups spread out around the island, they began to form distinct cultures and languages from each other as geographic conditions of the island allowed cultures to flourish. In around the year 500, the Native Uskadians began trading with the nearby Indonesian archipelago, and the Hindu and Buddhist religions began the spread to the island, although it was mostly confined to the northeastern parts of the island. After the collapse of the Majapahit Empire, Javanese and Sundanese Hindus began flocking to the island, and conflicts with native Uskadians in the interior began, known as the Interior Wars, which lasted 90 years.
The island was discovered by Europeans in around 1605, and was later colonised by Great Britain in 1750. Britain, seeing the conflicts between the Javanese settlers and the natives, exploited it using a divide and conquer strategy. The British saw Uskad as valuable as the extremely fertile land provided an almost unlimited source of income to the fledgling Empire. Stable British rule followed, until the 1925 Christmas Revolt, in which the United Kingdom began gradually providing Uskad with more autonomy, before granting it independence in 1944.
Uskad is a unitary parliamentary republic comprising of 11 provinces and territories. The capital is located in Monstad, while other major cities are Sampunuwu, Palangpalolu, Herrington. It is also one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, due to its unique geographical position.
