Panjaap, officially the Dominion of Panjaap, is a country in South Panjin. It is the first-most populous country and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Panjaapi Ocean on the south, the Saracenian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Gaudesh on the southeast, it shares land borders with Elam to the west; Bereket, Panchen, and Dalali to the north; Jin, Banthat and Riau to the east; and Nanyang in the south. In the Panjaapi ocean, Panjaap is in the vicinity of Saracenia and Sunda, sharing a maritime border with both nations.

The first humans to settle in Panjaap are estimated to date back over 50,000 years, to early Alkebulani settlers who migrated into the fertile region of Southern Panjin. Although evidence exists to date civilization back to then, the first recorded instance of an organized civilization in Panjaapi lands is from 3500BCE, with the emergence of the Chiefdom of Nanaka, an agricultural society based in the northern Kuruk region. The Nanaka Chiefdom marked the foundation of the Nanakism, with the exact literary origin of the faith still unknown. Nanaka over the course of ~1200 years was able to consolidate power and create the first empire of the subcontinent, the Empire of The Nanaki (Panjaapi: नानकी साम्राज्य) which occupied the northern reaches of Panjaap, along the Lhasan mountain range. The Nanaki Empire proceeded to dominate the subcontinent, amassing tributary states throughout the region before their eventual collapse in 1300BCE, when the Nanaki tributary states organized a revolt and kicked off The War of Ascendancy, which went on to claim an estimated 537,000,000 lives, as well as the Nanaki Empire.

What followed the collapse of the Nanaki is what's referred to as the Panjin dark age. Upon the collapse of the Nanaki, faith was lost in the centralized state, and the many Nanakist breakaway states regressed into feudalism, forming The Eighteen Kingdoms, which would fight for control over the subcontinent between 1350BCE and 210CE. Few events of importance happened during this era in Panjaapi history, hence the title of "Dark age", save for the Sadiq invasion. After the Sadiq exile from Jin, the roaming warbands of the east turned their eyes westward towards the fertile and unsuspecting Panjaapi kingdoms. The Sadiq warbands were able to ride into the eastern reaches of Panjaap, occupying all the way up to the modern borders of Banthatdesh, as well as the Lhasan mountain range. While the remaining kingdoms scrambled to muster a fighting force to repel the invaders, many efforts at a consolidated professional army failed due to petty squabbles between the kingdoms. It was at this point the influential mercantile guilds of Panjaap bypassed the divine rule of their lieges and saught cooperation with each other outside of royal jurisdiction. The Panjaapi Mercantile League (Later, The Panjaapi Trade Guild Federation) was able to coordinate their operations and use the resulting wealth to contract the service of Corean mercenaries who proved instrumental in the exile of the Sadiq into the modern region of Nadee-Jel.

This new conglomeration of influential merchants did not bode well with the kingdoms of the continent, having such power to bypass the will of the royal courts, they posed a danger to the longevity of feudalism through the subcontinent. These concerns were realized upon the proclamation of the Panjin Prosperity Federation by the Panjaapi Mercantile Leauge, which sought to unify the kingdoms of Panjaap under one banner for the purposes of profits. This development is what kicked off the Panjaapi renaissance, making way for massive strides in the culture of the region. While the PML managed the individual kingdoms of the federation, pitting kings off each other through proxy conflicts to keep them weak and submissive, painters, musicians, and the sort. While this elevated the federation among its neighbours in the metric of prestige, it ultimately was the federations undoing. When Stagnian colonizers arrived on the continent, they discovered the tactics that the PPF was using to maintain internal stability and began capitalizing upon it, influencing the internal kingdoms of the federation to push them more and more towards reliance on Stagnia. This, in addition to the naval advantage held by the Stagnians that strangled Panjaap of its overseas mercenary supply, lead to the Mercantile League entering into negotiations with Stagnia, and officially becoming a The Dominion of Panjaap in 1757CE.

Demographics

Education

Panjaap has a large education population compared to its total population figures. Stagnian colonization allowed for the development of a sizable Hoosier-speaking educated population, which persists to this day and acts as the main driving force behind Panjaap's development into an export economy. The nations literacy rate as of 1994 is estimated to be at 34%, with significant growth projected due to the new boosted budget allocated towards public education.

For Panjaapi citizens, attendance of Primary and Secondary schooling is mandatory by law in urban areas. In rural areas where education resources aren't widely available, programs are offered to provide the resources needed to allow for individuals to study in urban centers and bring that knowledge back to their rural homes. As of 1994, Panjaap has roughly 350 universities, 15,000 colleges and 900 thousand schools, with aims under the cohen administration to increase these figures to 900 universities, 40,000 colleges and 1.5 million schools by 2000.

Religion

There are three major religions that dominate Panjaap: Nanakism, Esotericism and Materialsim.

Nanakism is present in Panjaap due to the prominence of the Nanaki Empire during the early cultural stages of the Panjaapi subcontinent. Esotericism is a set of beliefs pushed by Prime Minister Dognauld Cohen centred around crackpot outlandish conspiracy theories with an overarching goal of discovering the secrets of the universe. Esotericism is the least prominent of the three religions, only widely followed by individuals in direct cooperation with Dognauld Cohen or his cabinet. Materialism is the newest of the three sects, conceived by Gint Woon, CEO of Daewoo on the 5th of May, 1994. Materialism spirituality flows largely from the belief that the universe is bound together in the Great Material Continuum. A Follower who lives a good life (one who made a profit and accumulated wealth) is said to navigate the Great River of the Continuum. Such Followers are rewarded for their success in interpreting the wants and needs of this life by positioning themselves for success in the next life. Materialism made it into Panjaap through the state's diplomatic ties with the corperation of Daewoo, now being taught in primary schooling as well as in homeless shelters.
