Agnibhumi

Agnibhumi is a country located in Oceania on Sahul Island, to the west of the nation of Australia. Agnibhumi was settled in the late 1200s by the Vijayanagar Empire, and it became independent in the 1330s, while still maintaining close ties to the Vijayanagars. The nation is densely populated along the coast with citizens descended from peoples all over the Indian subcontinent, though Agnibhumians primarily speak Telugu. There were Aboriginal peoples on the island long before Vijayanagars settled there, but Vijayanagars were the first of colonial ambitions to arrive to the island.
