Okun

Okun is a country on the northern shore of Gouba, composed almost entirely of tropical rainforest. The country to its south, east and west is bordered by Owanda and to the north is bordered by the Marima Ocean. The population in 2021 was estimated to be between 145,450 - 187,435 making it a very small populated country, likely due to its very small size.

=== Sir John Hamilton ===
Sir John Hamilton was a Isle of Chark voyager and heard of this patch of land in northern Owanda was full of sugarcane, so he sailed across the southern Paranian ocean and made many stops in many countries to trade, like Orirbella, Peisybaku and the Celestial Islands. He finally made it to the “Great Dip” the southernmost point of the southern Paranian sea which is surrounded by Mecirhan and Jabala, there he rode to the Ali River and made it to Kafanayat and after two weeks time of trekking finally made it to this patch of land. The legends were no lie, there was sugar cane everywhere. The Isle of Chark was a drunken place at the time and Sir John Hamilton was no different, they wanted this sugar cane to make them rum. He eventually was confronted by the Hidango tribe who asked what they were doing on this land. He explained that he wanted to fetch some sugar cane, the Hidango tribe came back with him to the Isle of Chark but don’t think they started friendship. Five years of staying in the Isle of Chark, many of the Hidango were forced to work.
