=History=
Modern-day Pulacan was peopled by various {{wp|Bantu|Komontu}} peoples from the 500s CE, with many fishing communities formed on the nation's Karaihe coastline. These communities grew thanks to the abundance of both seafood and trade goods accessible from the Karaihe and Ozeros Seas. Over the next five centuries, the northern communities began to form a separate identity from the wider Komontu diaspora, acting as trade mediaries between the central Djebe highland tribes and the maritime states of Malaio. The early stages of Pulaui-Pulatec relations is exemplified in the modern city of Mabesekwa, founded as X in the late 11th century CE as a joint trade outpost by the Pulaui-based [[Tahamaja Empire]] and a league of various merchant houses from the [[Tyreseia|Tyresene]] city-states. The city quickly blossomed into a center of multicultural exchange, seeing ideas, goods and technology move to and from inland Pulacan, the Ozerosi region, and even the faraway Periclean Sea Basin. 

==Kuroranu Taihu==
[[File:Cekungan_Bandung.jpg|250px|thumb|left|A view overlooking Kuroranu Taihu from the Pulaui side of the border]]
[[Kuroranu Taihu]] is a binational {{wp|planned city}} project along the land border between Pulacan and Pulau Keramat. Housing X people, it was founded in 1963 as a set of twin sister cities. Each nation's side of the city rests on their side of the X River's whitewater rapids system, which serves as the national boundary line in the southern Siva'Uia region. Constructed in only four years to plan, the city stands as a physical testament to the principles of [[Kabaya'an]]. Governance of the city was handled by separate local administration until 1988, when the Kuroranu Taihu Joint Memorandum of Understanding on Governance (JMUG) was signed by the Pulatec and Pulaui governments. The JMUG agreement established a joint government for the two halves of the city, as well as a network of provisions and treaties that allowed for the smooth merging of city services and amenities across the borders under the new city council. Today, the city remains one of the only urban localities in the world to officially be within two countries at once. 

Initially, the collective economy of Kuroranu Taihu was supported almost solely by government subsidies, as the city gained its early prominence as a symbol of Ozerosi accomplishment and achievement. Business exchange followed the diplomatic exchange, however, and the city experienced its first real organic growth following Pulacan's accession to the [[Vespanian Exchange Institute]] in 1982, at a leadership conference hosted in the city. Kuroranu Taihu plays host to numerous diplomatic gatherings, and it remains one of the premier spots for negotiations and summits in the wider Malaio-Ozeros region. The economy is bolstered by a shared Special Economic Zone encouraging business and international financial exchange. The city's stock exchange opened in 2004, eclipsing the Tepetenxipaltlan Stock Exchange in registered trades and becoming one of the primary exchanges in the Ozeros, cementing the city's position as an "Kabaya'an project." The area around the city experiences further economic stimulation via Joint Base Kuroranu, a Pulaui-Pulatec army and air base near the outskirts of the city suburbs.

Culturally, the city of Kuroranu Taihu is seen as a gateway between Pulacan and Pulau Keramat, and as the most visible symbol of cooperation between the two nations. As such, it has drawn both positive and negative political attention over the years. In recent decades, law enforcement authorities have thwarted numerous plots of political violence in front of various [[Kabaya'an]] monuments and political symbols. Some attacks succeed; in 2015 the [[Djebe Liberation Army]] detonated six explosive devices in trash disposal cans across the city. Twelve people were killed as a result, and waste disposal cans were subsequently removed from the city center by authorities. The city project has also drawn ire from environmentalist groups and conservatives in Pulacan, with the former denouncing the destruction to wildlife wrought by the city construction, while the latter denounced seemingly frivolous government spending. At the same time, Kuroranu Taihu has received praise from urban planning and civil engineering groups around the world for its intricate public transit system, a healthy collection of greenbelts in the city boundaries, a geographically-balanced distribution of amenities and civil services and a world-class entertainment district.
