Palanca (/pa'la:ŋkə/; Teru: பழங்கள் Paḻaṅkaḷ), officially the Republic of Palanca (Teru: பழங்கள் குடியரசு Paḻaṅkaḷ Kuṭiyaracu), is an island country in western X, located in the X to the west of the X and north-east of the X. The sovereign state is comprised of a small archipelago centered around the name-giving island of Palanca, geographically separated from the X continent by the Gulf of X and the X Strait.

As of 2014, Palanca counts a population of 1,266,104 inhabitants, excluding around 490,000 non-citizens and expratriates (accounting for around 39% of the country's total population); two thirds of the entire population live in the capital and largest city of the country, Nakaram.
The island nation was inhabited for centuries by native Pulicanese, who were famed for their craftsmanship and pearl fishing, renowned throughout the world.

Following substantial home rule, Palanca became a X protectorate for much of the 19th and 20th century until declaring and formally gaining independence in 1954. Shortly after, enourmous oil and natural gas reserves were discovered offshore, enabling the country to perform large-scale modernization throughout the latter half of the decade. However, TBD
