Agrurg, officially the United Republic of Agrurg is a country in Southeast Nori, between the Magnostrium Ocean and the Gulf of Fei. It is one of the largest island countries in the world. The sovereign state is a presidential, constitutional republic with an elected congress. It has 36 provinces, of which two have special status.

History

The islands that compose modern day Agrurg was first settled 1.1 million years ago by prehistoric humans, this is evidenced by skeletons and ancient artifacts recovered by modern-day anthropologists. Millions of years later, around 130 BCE, the Agrurg archipelago was claimed by 13 different kingdoms which fought and traded with each other. Eventually one kingdom went on a conquest and annexed all the other kingdoms, uniting the archipelago. This kingdom was called Aprugi and it lasted for many centuries until in the year 1567 a Liran explorer who’s name was Nicolás Nuno “discovered” the archipelago, opening the gateway for colonization of the islands. Multiple Liran countries started setting up colonies on the islands, devastating the native people of the island. Eventually the natives had enough of the oppression and started the 1698 Agrurg Revolutionary War. This bloody revolution lasted 4 years with the natives coming out as victorious. After winning their independence, the native islanders set up a new democratic nation called the United Republic of Agrurg.
