The United Federation of Lingang (UFL, U.F., or U.F.L), commonly referred to as the United Federation or simply Lingang, is a country located in northern Mu. A federal elective monarchy, Lingang of 29 states and a federal district. It's 29 states and federal district are located entirely in the South Pacific. Lingang has 4 populated territories in the Pacific, and a former colony which has now broken off to form the independent nation of the United Republic of New Kingsland. The geography of Lingang is very diverse, with it's eastern region being very humid and forested, and it's western areas being very arid.

Lingang was first inhabited by people around 1,000 years ago when humans first began to migrate into the Pacific. In the easternmost regions of the U.F.L, various indigenous civilizations arose, most notably the Maurentide and Konoban kingdoms. European contact began in the 17th Century. The British established a small colony on the eastern seaboard of the continent by the mid 1720's, and a century later it gained independence from the United Kingdom. It's independence was gained in 1818, beginning as an electoral republic, but over time transitioning to an autocracy with one monarch elected amongst the governing class.

In the 19th Century, Lingang was wrecked by political instability and dissent. This eventually led to a civil war between the government and groups of competing factions, with many groups spearheaded by wealthy landowners whom were concerned with what they perceived to be increasing attempts from the government to democratize the country. A faction of far-right rebels (who eventually coalesced with Christian factions to form the National Party of Lingang) took advantage of already existing chaos and disorder caused by revolts from the lower classes. The war started in 1884 and lasted until 1891, with the National Party victorious. Throughout the rest of the century, Lingang expanded into the rest of the continent, destroying native kingdoms and displacing their people, annihilating cultures and tribes, and slowly admitting new territories and states. By the early 1900's, Lingang faced pressure from the international community to end slavery, as most of the other industrial nations had done. Facing economic isolation, the United Federation finally declared slavery illegal in 1904, though the institution itself was almost nonexistent in most of the nation by that time.

During World War I Lingang remained mostly isolated, taking a similar stance as the United States. But its position changed in 1940, when the Japanese attacked a Linganese trading outpost in Darwin, Australia. This threw Lingang into the Second World War, with the United Federation fighting alongside the United States of America against Japan. It emerged from WWII as a greater power in the Pacific, boasting a rebuilt and improved military. Lingang later joined the United Nations and started a nuclear weapons program, but was still criticized by the international community for its draconian laws and its oppression of minorities. In 1964 the Ashetowne Uprising occurred, sparked by Lingang's totalitarian laws and repression of dissent, and would spark the Red Revolution. The ensuing civil war between socialist rebels and the federal government lasted ten years until the U.F.L gained victory over the insurgency. This was followed by sweeping government reforms and strict control of information, all of which made up the Blackout Years from 1975 to 1990, a period in which very little information about Lingang was known to the outside world.

Lingang is an indistrialized country, with one of the worlds largest economies. Its economy is fueled by an abundance of natural resources and a government committed to extracting all of it. While industrialized, Lingang is considered by most to be a Draconian police state. The United Federation has been ranked alarmingly low on both the Democracy Index and the Corruption Perception Index, and suffers from the highest level of unequal income distribution. About 19% of the population lives in poverty, while a small 3% live in great wealth. Lingang is a prominent technological, economic and military power in the Pacific and a rising power in the world. In June 2017, Lingang officially reentered into diplomatic relations with the United States, the first time doing so since the end of the Second World War.
