The Republic of Bamvango is a landlocked country located in west Bahia bordered by Yemet to the south and Ihram to the west. It lies near to Rahelia and possesses a varied but generally a modified equatorial climate. Its capital Jombo has traditionally been at the crossroads of various empires and civilisations from Rahelia and Bahia.

Bamvango is named for the river that runs through the country which traditionally has supported civilisation in the area. The most notable of these was the Kamba Empire which ruled the region from the 8th to the 11th century. The region became a backwater following the collapse of the empire being subject to various civilisations and empires from Ifranic influences to the north and Yemeti influence from the south.

The region was colonised by Estmere in the 1890's but was substantially underdeveloped. Independence was gained in 1946 following the Fort Harrington declaration, but the nation soon fell into political instability. The 1977-1985 rule of general Kashim Shehu was considered to be one of the most violent in Bahia triggering the Bamvangan Bush War and a decade of political instability and ethnic violence. From 1987 to 2014 the country was ruled by Abdallah Ibrahim who was ousted following the start of the Bamvangan insurgency which continues to this day.

Despite social indicators improving over the 2000's the start of the insurgency in 2011 has led to a reversal of many of these gains. Bamvango remains one of the poorest countries in the world being largely reliant on foreign aid from the Euclean Community, Halland Xiaodong and Senria. The government struggles to control the majority of the country due to the ongoing insurgency.

The country is incredibly ethnically diverse with over 50 ethnic groups. The main groups are Welke, Horo, Kamba, Ilangi and Begi peoples. The lingua franca's of Bamvango are Estmerish and Rahelian although many other languages are spoken. Bamvango is a major exporter of uranium, oil and gold alongside the traditional cotton growing industry.
