Nung Banyu (Ybon: Ṇẽng Bṇũũ /ɳʏ̃ŋ bəˈɳʊ̃:/), officially the Something of Nung Banyu, is a country located in Parshita, bordered by Yaphang to the east and south. The political and legal statuses of Nung Banyu are contentious issues. Yaphang claims that Nung Banyu is Yaphangese teerritory and even though Yaphang does not de facto control the region, it does control it de jure. Nung Banyu is also a part of the Imperial Jigh and will become a proper sialage state if Nung Banyu achieves complete independence from Yaphang.
Etymology
History
Beginning of the Bellicose Epoch
At the beginning of the Bellicose Epoch in 1619, the Imperial Jigh, under the leadership of Rapyud Kimkyạ, started the centralisation process, which would have allowed greater influence over Nung Banyu and control over the territory’s economy, trade, borders, politics and so on. However, as the territory of Nung Banyu was at the time a part of the Milevian Empire, the total integration of Nung Banyu was impossible. This led to a smaller scale centralisation towards the Imperial Jigh in 1621, which tilted the focus from the Milevian Empire to the Imperial Jigh, ultimately strengthening the Imperial Jigh’s grasp on the territory. Already starting in 1617, in official reports and speeches, Nung Banyu was treated as an official part of the Imperial Jigh and its own sialage state, which later reinforced the idea that Nung Banyu would gain such a title, which in turn de jure granted more freedoms to the territory inside the Imperial Jigh. However, due to being a two-union-state, that is being both in the Imperial Jigh and the Milevian Empire, trade and other privileges with the rest of the Milevian Empire were restricted. And with the Imperial Jigh growing more and more powerful with the introduction of gunpowder and centralisation of state, Nung Banyu was partially forced to side with the Imperial Jigh.
