Bandar Raja

Bandar Raja, officially Bandar Raja Capital Region or also know as BR for short (Samuderan: ꧋ꦧꦤ꧀ꦝꦂꦫꦗ; Samuderan: Daerah Ibu Negara Bandar Raja) is a planned capital city that serves as the administrative capital of Samudera Darussalam. Growing regional sentiments to have a federal capital on neutral ground, as well as the massive population growth of Palembang, a major economic center that also serves the capital of Samudranagara, were often cited as the reasons of the creation of a new seat for the federal government. Despite the move of most of federal government's branches, compromises during the process have led to a status quo where Palembang remains as the country's national capital per constitution, the seat of the head of state (the monarch), as well as the judiciary branch of the government.

The establishment of Bandar Raja was the idea of the then-Mangkubumi Hakim Irawan. Studies conducted in order to look for a suitable place for the new federal capital took a few years, with the result being an undeveloped royal estate in the central-western part of the peninsula, which had been previously offered by the Samuderan Royal Family as a probable location for the project. The development of the new capital started at August 1974 and finished at May 1996, although it would take another 5 years before the transfer of the capital would be completed, in part caused by the then-ongoing fiscal crisis. On January 3 2002, Bandar Raja became Samudera's second federal territory after West Saka. Its proximity to the city of Indrapura has caused several academicians to consider it as a part of the Indrapura metropolitan area.

With a mostly steady population of 112,000 (according to the 2021 census), Bandar Raja is the twenty-fifth largest city in the Crowned Federation.
