The Republic of Sumadrapura, commonly known as simply Sumadrapura, is a unitary state in South East Asia. Sumadrapura has a total land area of roughly 1.9 million square kilometres and a total population of 110 million; the lingua franca is Anglian, but the use of Penanian is also widespread. The dominant-party government of the People's Vanguard Party exercises control over seven provinces, an autonomous region, and a single direct-controlled municipality - the capital of Sumadrapura, Bandar Emas, which has a population of 7.7 million in the metropolitan area. Sumadrapura is an island nation, made up of an archipelago of inhabited islands; the largest of which, Sumatra, is 75% of the total size of the country. Sumadrapura has been inhabited by humans since the ice age. The country is well known for its transition from a developing to a highly developed state in a single generation under the leadership of its founder Winston Feng.
The history of the Sumadrapuran archipelago has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Indeed, it has been an important region for trade since at least the 7th century, when local princedoms traded with entities from mainland Zhenia and the Indian subcontinent. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models via trade and various Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms flourished in the early centuries. Baccanian traders brought Ardam, whilst from the 14th century onwards, Auroran powers brought Vayonism and fought one another to monopolise trade during the Age of Discovery. In the 19th century, Anglia consolidated control over the entire archipelago, laying the groundwork for the future state. In the early 20th century, the concept of "Sumadrapura" as a nation-state emerged proper, and an independence movement - principally led by Winston Feng- began to take shape, eventually evolving into the People's Vanguard Party, or PVP. Consequently, amidst the decolonisation of Asia after the Second Great War, Sumadrapura was granted self-rule in 1948. Under the rule of the PVP it became a "capitalist developmental state" and experienced remarkable export-led economic growth during the latter half of the 20th century.
Today, Sumadrapura is a developed, high income country, with a GDP PPP per capita of $49,100 in 2016, with an overall PPP GDP of $5,401 billion. It ranks highly in international development indices, with an HDI of 0.925; Sumadrapura is relatively equal, with a low gini rating of 31%. Sumadrapura has a mixed economy, with major utilities and economic sectors nationalised, but as an island nation is largely dependent on trade and commerce. Sumadrapura has a space program (Sumadrapuran Space Agency), a large hadron collider and is a leading researcher of cold fusion; 72% of the Sumadrapuran electricity grid is provided by nuclear power: Investment into technological and scientific research is a major state policy, with research and development comprising 4.3% of GDP.
Sumadrapura is a parliamentary republic with a unicameral parliamentary government. The People's Vanguard Party has won every election since independence in 1948. As such, Sumadrapura has been typified by commentators as a one-party state. Sumadrapura ranks moderately free on international political indices: It has received criticism for its human rights record, including conscription, censorship, eugenics program, strict franchise and disenfranchisement laws, and prohibition of extremist political parties. Sumadrapura has a military force of 450,000 active personnel and over 1,000,000 reserve personnel and is a nuclear weapons state, with a nuclear triad, and is a member of the Asia-Pacific Pact.
