Phaluhm Phoueck

**State of Phaluhm Phoueck (Phaluhm: Estado ng Phaluhm Phoueck**, Spanish: **Islas Familiares***)*is a sovereign state in South East Asia. It consists of five islands, which are also states, Nazahezan, Kota Kambular, Nuybuey, Retatto and Magazena. These islands make up the Phaluhm Archipelago. Phaluhm Phoueck is a consitutional and a parlimentary republic.

Phaluhm Phoueck has about 541,465 inhabitants, mostly Native Phaluhm's. They are dispersed across the entire atoll and also in the cities such as Dauham Sammar Hazaham, Westal City or Javahezam. Phaluhm is the third densely populated country in the world before the Monaco and Singapore. Nuybuey is the most densely populated island in the world.

Its first settlers were the Bruneians, when they established Dauham Sammar Hazaham, and brought Islam to the country in 1482. In 1670, the Spaniards discovered Phaluhm Phoueck. They started colonising the island as part of the Spanish East Indies, which included the Philippines. After the Seven Year War, the Spainish gave all of the islands to the British. Phaluhm was a seperate entity from British East Indies until 1946 in which it was independent with a Sultan. In 1979, a coup disposed the sultan and installed a dictator which ruled from 1979 to 1998, in which his rule collapsed due to the Asian Financial Crisis.

Phaluhm Phoueck today has a strong economy, mostly developed, and a highly technological country. It mostly has high education rates and has two major religions, Islam which counts for 45% of the total population and Christianity which counts for 52% of the total population. Its main economic partners are the US, EU, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. It is also a member of UN, OIC, ASEAN, ACD, APEC, and WTO.

## Etyomology

Phaluhm Phoueck is derived by the inhabitants of the islands (**Phaluhm**, which derived from Vietnamese: **Pháp Luân**) and the then sultanate of **Phoueck** (which derived from **Phó Eúk**). It was later simplified to Phaluhm Phoueck, during romanisation of Baybayin, which was also used by the Tagalog people in the Philippines.

The native spelling caused the Spanish to call the islands, **Islas Familiares** (The Familiar Islands) and is the name of Phaluhm Phoueck in Spanish and Portuguese. Every other language uses the full native name, Phaluhm Phoueck.

## Geography

*Main article **here***

Nuybuey is the densest island in the world and Kambular and Nazahezan being significantly dense.

The main states are named after the islands (with the exception of Kota Kamular) : Nazahezan, Kota Kambular, Nuybuey, Retatto and Magazena.

### Islands

The Phaluhm Atoll is comprised of

Nazahezan is the main island of Phaluhm Phoueck. It hosts the capital and the largest city of Phaluhm Phoueck, Dauham Sammar Hazaham. The islands are mostly flat with huge overstretching beaches. The islands can be used to grow certain plantations however the island stands in an oil rich area so much of the economy is based on offshore oil drills.

The Rettato Islands are a small island chain that stretch from Magazena to Kambular. The town of Faraton Bisu sits at one of the islands.

### Brunei Era

The islands were largley uninhabitanted until the Bruneians came in 1482. They established a trading

     post in Dauham Sammar Hazaham, to trade with the Ming Dyansty and Maynila. It was named the Phaluhm Phoueck Sultanate. The land was fairly quiet as it was only used to trade tropical fruits. The Bruneians then founded the city of Dauham Sammar Hazaham. It was an Islamised sultanate until the arival of Ferdianand Magellan of Portugal that turly changed Phaluhm Phoueck forever. The king of Phaluhm Phoueck exiled to Brunei until their great-grandchildren became king of the British Protectrate.

### Spanish East Indies Era

In 1582, Ferdianand Magellan landed at Dauham Sammar Hazaham. Spanish colonalisim strated when the Spaniards from the Philippines, landed at the islands of Magazena and Rettato. They established the city of Westal and Reval. They then set sail to Duaham Sammar Hazaham to fight off the Bruneians and establish the new city of Dauham Sammar Hazaham. They then changed the name to Alanka. It was quiet as it was a very small population, with little or no rebels. They brought Spanish culture to the isles, and the named the isles to Las Isles Faluham Fhoueck.

### British East India Era

In 1763, the Spanish were forced to bring the entire atoll to the British as war repartitions. The atoll was entirely controlled by the British, however they kept the original Spanish buildings and modernised the cities. In 1800, the entire colony was controlled by the British East India Company until 1874 when it collapsed. Direct British rule was imposed after that as the colony of the British Indochinese Islands.

The island was redundant and had virtually no economy apart from farming and fishing. The Sultan and the Raja was set by the British to impose rule in Phaluhm locally. However in 1922, the discovery of off-shore oil in Phaluhm waters defined the future of Phaluhm.

### Japanese Era

The Japanese then invaded Phaluhm Phoueck and made it an puppet government. They also exploited the massive oil reserves that Phaluhm held. The British then faught back and it was regained. But tensions about independence was so high, that the Phaluhm Civil War broke out, and the revolutionarys won. The British then departed a few months later.

### Last British Era & Independence

In 1948, due to the Indian rebelion, harsher rule of the Phaluhm people was imposed, leading a backlash of protesters. In 1957, the Federation of Malaya act was passed by the British Government and it was planned to incorporate Phaluhm in to Malaysia. However local support was low and they urged the British Government to instead make Phaluhm in to a seperate entity.

In December 1959, the Phaluhm Independence Referendum was held and it showed an overwhelming majority supporting Independence. In 1960, Phaluhm declared independence from Britian and was recognised by other countries. Phaluhm was governed by an minority Islamic monarchy from 1960 to 1979 which had a lot of negative support from the majority Christians who felt that they were being suppresed. The 1977 Wikas Massacre provoked protests against the fundamentalist Islamic Regime which esculated to the 1979 Phaluhm Revolution.

### Pre 1979 Era

After independence, Phaluhm was set to become an Islamic state, but this was proven unpopular to the east. This then later became an uprising by 1963, by the Phoueckan people, and by 1979, just 1 month after the Iranian Revolution, they marched to Dauham Sammar Hazaham, and demanded an democratic, non-religious, non-corrupt government. Within 1 month, King Nuyel Nattal was deposed by the army and in Kehm Hamal stepped in to power until 1998 after the Asian Financial Crisis.
