Jumstraad, officially Special Region of Jumstraad (Indonesian: Daerah Khusus Jumstraad), was a city in the Indokistani state of Central Indokistan. The city was established on 22 January 2011, with Sayfi I as its first mayor. Jumstraad is the home of Indokistans first parliament office, Bolshoiskii complex, which occupied almost half of the city's total territory.

It was the first capital city of Indokistan until 2012, when it was moved to Slobodan. Jumstraad was the cradle of Indokistani micronational movement, as the concept of Indokistan was first conceived on the city, and its identity was consolidated within the city border.

Etymology

The name was named for a type of stone scattered over the city which first mayor Ali Akbar called batu jum (jumstone), though the name was of unknown origin. Citizens later added a suffix -grad to the stone name, in order to create the name for the new region, which was agreed by Farhan Abbas and immediately named the city as such. Jumstraad name then could be interpreted as "city of jumstone".

History

As capital city

Farhan Abbas' decision to divide Indokistani territory from a city-state into three cities was supported by citizens, and the city was officially established in the end of January 2011 shortly after the January Revolution. Sayfi I was appointed as the first caretaker leader. He also led the sister cities of Flastraad and Trastraad.

After its establishment, Jumstraad quickly became the centre of Indokistani micronational activities and hosted many government institutions. Beside of political centre, Jumstraad also became the cultural and technology centres, especially after the establishment of Indokistan Technology Development Center.

The city became the main battleground during the Indokistan-Ntolian War in April 2011. Battle of Jumstraad, a fight for the capital between Indokistani people and Ntolian invaders on 7 April, was the main conflict occurred in the capital city during the war.

The city lost its importance in 2012, when the majority of Indokistani citizens left Jumstraad to migrate to other city. With citizens began to be scattered and form new cities from their new location, Jumstraad was finally stripped from its capital status in mid-2012, with its title and function was transferred to the city of Koskenniemi in Slobodan.

Federal State era

Despite of its declining importance inside the Federal State, Jumstraad remained one of the most important city inside the Central Indokistan state, especially for its historical importance. Indokistani citizens frequently felt nostalgic to the city as Jumstraad was the national capital since 2011 until 2012, considered by citizens as Indokistan's "golden era".
