Vuku (Aanyaka: Vuku /vú.kú/), officially the Republic of Vuku (Aanyaka: Vuku Vungànyèbĩ /vú.kú vú.ŋà.ɲɘ̀.bĩ́/), is an island state and archipelago on the southwestern rim of the Toyana Ocean. It is located to the south of Kahului-Kanau, east of Baystate, and northwest of Mist Carthara Islands. Its five islands total about 4,050 km² (1,564 mi²) in land area, making it among the smallest sovereign states on Iearth; about one third of the country’s nearly 200,000 inhabitants live in the metro area of Bajitika, which is its economic center, while Vukeba is the nation's judicial capital.
Evidence of human habitation in present-day Vuku dates back to 15 to 20 kya, and it is believed that Proto-Aanyaka-speaking predecessors of the Ibavuku were separated from other groups in Adula after rising sea levels isolated the southeastern Adulan lands circa 12 kya.
Vuku boasts comparatively high civil and political freedoms; however, despite strides in political transparency and anti-corruption initatives, Vuku is a developing country, measuring fairly low on indicators of human development. Current challenges include sustainable economic expansion, resource management, and advancements in telecommunications infrastructure.
