Mulungu is a geographically rich country, bathed by the vast Ocean of Teraphia, in a strategic region, as it lies at the access to the

North Sea of Teraphia, which gives it a lot of economic and commercial advantage. The geography is marked by 3 main geographical environments. The north is marked by vast green fields, with little relief and very fertile, where you can also find the important Luxanko Sea, on the border with Reino Pablo, which gives you another access to the North Sea of Teraphia. The center of the country is marked by fertile soil and constant rainfall, as well as several river basins, rivers, lakes and bays, which leave a trademark and enchant the inhabitants and tourists. The South is marked by its mountainous soil, high altitudes and mild and mountainous climate. In general, the country has a great agricultural and economic potential, its geography allows it to have access to one of the most important seas on the planet, a soil suitable for planting and a territory of easy settlement.

The rains are constant throughout the country, the rivers wet the "dry" lands of the interior, the hills beautify the south and mark the landscape.

	Human geography
	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

The country's economy has developed thanks to its strategic position on the North Sea of Teraphia, which has allowed it to possess one of the busiest ports on the entire continent. The great coastline of plains and forests, allowed the choice of the location of the capital not to be difficult. The country has several federal highways, called "MU", which connect the country from north to south and from east to west. The South has always maintained a higher quality of life, along with smaller and less urbanized cities. The North has always been characterized by big cities, great economy and attractiveness for job seekers and job opportunities. The country is also the largest exporter of Mulungu (a tree with several health benefits) in the world, in addition to being a major exporter of Erythrina and Persimmon. The mountains in the south and north of the country allowed it to have a great mineral wealth, with several natural reserves of gold, diamond and the most common metal in the national territory, palladium, which is very valuable and traded in the foreign market.

Mulungu also has 3 main oil basins, which allows it to be self-sufficient in oil consumption, and still manages to export to other parts of the world. Its strategic position, its fertile and rich soil, provided Mulungu with a rich territory with high potential.

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

Mulungu was discovered and colonized by the Puntagaguanos, a people who came from the city of Puntaguana, Mecyna (Archanta). The Puntaguanos landed on the beaches of the center of the country, soon admiring the agronomist potential of the place, installing a village called Cidade Esperança, the Puntaguanos settled in most of the coast and later inhabited the interior, the main reason that brought the Puntaguanos to stay in the place, was the natural wealth in the ore of Palladium and Gold, which were many exported to Archanta.

The Puntaguanos were not accustomed to the climate and humidity of Teraphia and soon began to get sick, the healers began to use the trees and flowers of Mulungu to make medicines and heal the explorers, which proved to be very effective, which led them to nickname that region the Region of Healing. The history of the country remained stagnant for a long time, in general, the settlers exploited the natural resources and founded new settlements, all the wealth collected was taken to Erithrina through railway systems, and from there, exported to Puntaguana, which traded with the entire continent of Archanta.

FIt was only after 200 years of being exploited by the Puntagaguanos, that they began to act in favor of Independence, which angered the Puntaganiense Government, which led the government to hunt down anyone who supported the independence movement. In time, the colonizers and exploited had to return to Puntaguana And continuing to explore the world, in the absence of these authorities, the inhabitants felt free to organize a war of independence, which was largely victorious. They did not win the war, but they won several rights and were elevated to the category of Overseas District of Puntaguana.

After years of being extorted by the Puntagaguanos, they waged a great war against the Puntaganiense Government, which took place in the City of Eritrina and left around 17 thousand dead and left the city well destroyed. Where with it, they obtained the Independence of the Country, which was signed in the Imperial Palace of Puntaguana, in the city of Puntaguana.

The country has inherited the vast Puntaguaniense culture, such as the Portuguese-Puntagu language, to the renowned cuisine of the Puntagaguanos. Women wear long dresses and skirts, tie up their hair and wear barrettes made of Mulungu branches, men wear white trousers and large clothes, well-shined shoes and luxurious hats. The cuisine, in addition to having the heritage of the Puntaguana culture, is also characterized by the local cuisine, with the typical dish of the country being the Mulungu Pie, where in it there is chicken, mulungu seeds, lemon, corn, peas, aged cream, etc...

Population growth began about 120 years ago, with the arrival of emigrants, who came to the country with the aim of finding employment and working in the palladium mines. Another factor that led to the growth was the construction of the MU (federal highways) that integrated the entire country, from north to south. Foreign investment and trade agreements also allowed Mulungu to get little involved in the World Wars and not be harmed by them.

• Olá, gostaria de saber se a minha solicitação foi aceita. Poderiam de informar? (Hello, I would like to know if my request has been accepted. Could you tell us??)

• Hello. My apologies for the late response. I'm quite impressed with your mapping in your BG territory, as well as the history of the territory you've outlined. However, I do think TA113 might be rather big for a first territory. Would you be okay to be granted the top half of the territory, for example? The other half would be reserved for the time being, and could be requested at a future time. Taka (talk) 20:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Taka. Understanding your needs and understanding the delay, there is no problem.

I like the idea and I even prefer it to be this way, if it happens like that, I will be satisfied. Thank you very much!

Ps: Thank you for the positive comments on my mapping, lol -Tonny

	Territory application approved
	I noticed that you've been mapping in TA113, and assume Taka gave the goahead for that. I have made the assignment of the northern half of the territory official now. Please feel free to modify the boundary for realism. Thanks/wangi (talk) 20:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
	As you develop your territory, be sure to keep it realistic. Here are some resources you may find useful for starting out: Help:Portal, Help:Making realistic countries, Help:Making realistic cities and OpenGeofiction:Site policies
