History
Evidence of the countries first people is found in several ruins deep in the forest, however little work has been done on the ruins- and not much is known.
The first villages documented, still are lived in today- most are located high in the mountains. For many years the country was occupied by both Malaysia and Indonesia. Many of the cultural ideas come from these two countries. In 1960, the people, sick of existing governments, decided to start a revolution, and with the United States' help, parts of both Malaysia and Indonesia were claimed for Bangorai'. However due to the debt that the country was in, life styles standards were demolished. Finally, with the country on the verge of collapse, the leader, Shartin Alak Betatar, spent the last of the money on an oil search. One year later, in 1976, they found several large oil fields in the South China Sea and along the Kapuas River.
With a stable form of income, disaster struck. Just a few months after the oil discovery, the Military took over the country and the Sultan fled with a large sum of money. Everything came to a standstill. Suddenly the militia leader, Jusaf Kalla, died and in fear of a new dictator, many more people fled the country. The next in line for rule was another military leader, Kahar Ali Hassan, but instead of overtaking, he chose to lead the country as a Sultanate again. With the help of COFR alliance nations, Kahar started the oil dereks and the economy began to rise again. All of this happened in little over two years.
Today, the country has alliances with several countries around the world, and although many of it's population is still poor, many new towns and cities with thriving economies are developing.
