'''Pinang''', officially the '''Free State of Pinang''' (Dutch: ''Vrijstaat Pinaang'', Malay: ''Negeri Babas Penang'', Chinese: 自由邦檳城), is a sovereign microstate located on the Malayan peninsula. The country's territory is composed of the main island of Pinang and the land on the Malaya peninsula between the down south Kerien river and the Muda river up north, while to the east the so-called “vlakte forms a border. The combined area of the nation has increased by some 37% since its foundation, mainly due to extensive land reclamation projects. ▼
 
It has the fourth highest population density in the world. Its population is considered dominantly “Chinese” with a large and influential minority of what some might call Eurasians and Dutch Europeans. Despite its diversity, it is considered by all accounts to be a state there to protect the Chinese and Eurasians on the peninsula. Due to its history, its main languages are Dutch, Chinese and Taulands. The fundamental nature that it a state out there to protect its Chinese and Eurasian citizens is reflected in its policies, be it housing, healthcare and economic development. It is considered one of the more militarised societies on earth with some saying the entire nation her mentality can be explained as being under siege.
 
▲'''Pinang''', officially the '''Free State of Pinang''' (Dutch: ''Vrijstaat Pinaang'', MalaySoedanese: ''Negeri Babas Penang'', Chinese: 自由邦檳城), is a sovereign microstate located on the Malayan peninsula.

The combined area of the nation has increased by some 3720% since its foundationfounding, mainly due to extensive land reclamation projects as well as territorial swaps with the Union of Soenda.
While the history of Pinang dates back hundreds of years, the modern state of Pinang can trace its origins back to the KNIL garrison located in “Nieuw Alkmaar” on the island of Pinang. In the final decades of Dutch colonial rule, the colonial admin started to invest in the island to turn it into a fortress. Something that proved to be effective during the east indies crisis, as the island and the region that is now Pinang remained under KNIL control throughout the crisis and had a capable industrial base. When the war started to go badly tho and when the chaos started to reign in the final years of the conflict the KNIL units stationed in the region, started to withdraw to Pinang, without orders from higher up. As it turned out this was organized by Kapitein Generaal Marten de Vries, a man that had fought in the KNIL all his life and would not give up the land he fought for. This resulted in a situation where in 1975 when all Dutch units withdrew “de Vries his army” as it was referred to, stayed and in fact became a safe haven for the Chinese refugees across the peninsula.
 
Pinang has one of the highest population densities in the world with Pinang proper being among the top 3 densest cities on Earth. The population of Pinang is predominately ethnically Chinese with a large and influential minority of Eurasians and Europeans who descend from 20th century Dutch settlers and military men (along with their offspring). The nation was forged from an alliance of rouge Royal Netherlands East Indies Army units stationed in Pinang & diasporic local Chinese militias and settlers during the [[East Indies Crisis (1960-1976)|East Indies Crisis]]. The unique cultural mixture and founding of the nation is evident in all factors of it's governance and the nation is considered to be a highly militarized society with a strong engrained siege mentality (stemming from it's rocky relationship with it's neighbors). After early years of turbulence, the nation has rapidly developed to become one of the so-called “Rising lions” of Asia and in doing so it has created a vibrant export economy with a focus on industrialism, textiles and advanced manufacturing
After early years of turbulence whilst lacking natural resources, international recognition and a hinterland, the nation rapidly developed to become one of the so-called “Rising lions”.
