Soenda, officially the Union of Soenda (Indonesian: Pɘnkarsaan Sunda Sɘrikat), is a federation located in southeast Asia. Gaining independence through the East Indies Crisis, the modern state consists of the Malay peninsula, the four Greater Soenda Islands, the Central Moluccas, and surrounding satellite islands. Soenda shares boundaries with Thaitania and Acheh to the west, the Philippines to the north and east, and Timor to the southeast.
