'''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.
'''Malacca''' or '''Malakka''', officially the '''Free State of Malakka''' (Chinese: 馬六甲, Cantonese: ''Maa Luk Gaap,'' Malay: ''Melaka'', Dutch: ''Vrystaat van Malakka)'' is a sovereign microstate located on the Malayan peninsula. To the south is the Strait of Malacca, and it is surrounded by the Malayonesian Federation to the north, east, and west. The country's territory is largely composed of the territories of the Sultanate of Malakka and surrounding areas gained during the War of Independence. It is one of the most densely populated nations in the world with roughly 7 million people in an area of 1,600 square kilometers. Modern Malakka is unique in that it was founded as a ''de facto'' Malayan safehaven and as such is radically different from the rest of the peninsula. This unique situation combined with the countries early history and paranoid mentality has led to a unique nation with a cultural that blends Malay, Dutch, and Chinese influences.

Modern Malakka was founded during the East Indies Crisis. Throughout the conflict, the city of Malakka was a major administrative and military hub and had been under Dutch control for nearly 300 years. The region was the site of the largest mass military defection in modern history, with 3 Dutch KNIL divisions led by Major-General Pieter Hendrik van Oyen refusing Dutch central command orders to retreat from their position in May of 1976. Under his leadership, the rouge divisions and their inadequate Air Force used their contacts to stock up and fight off repeated attempts by the Dutch to seize the city of Malakka. After a series of conferences with local Malayan Chinese leaders & militias, Van Oyen & his rouge KNIL divisions officially joined forces with the nascent 'free-state movement'. This led to the creation of the joint-Malakkan central command whose explicit aim was to create a anti-EILF free-state in Malakka to serve as a sovereign state for the Malay and Chinese populations of the region. Eventually after several years of fighting & negotiations with the EILF, a ceasefire agreement was reached in September of 1978 after which the Malakkan Free State was declared.
