Eraman

Eraman, officially the Kingdom of Eraman, is an island country in the Melayu Archipelago. The federal constitutional monarchy consists of nine states. It shares a land border with Samudera Darussalam and maritime border with Pemecutan, Sharktail and Southern Palm Islands. Anara is the national capital and largest city while Daulapura is the royal seat of the monarch. The country's population is 14,753,910.

Eraman is ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse. About half of the population is ethnically Malay, with large minorities of Girian, Mandaran and Palmyran. Malay and English are recognized as the official languages of Eraman. The economy is mainly fuelled by its natural resources but is expanding in the sectors of commerce, manufacturing and tourism.

Etymology
There are many theories about the origin of the name Eraman. The most popular etymology is "order" (in old Javanese: krama). "Kramadvipa" was the word used by ancient Malay, Javanese, Girian, Mandaran and Palmyran traders when referring to the island. It is the combination of the word "krama" and Sanskrit suffix "dvipa" meaning continent.

Some local historians have suggested that Eraman was named after Hanuman, the Hindu god whom locals believed spent the rest of his life in Puncakpura after the Kurukshetra War.
