Wikipedia description:
The Sultanate of Bima (Malay: كسلطانن بيم, romanized: Kesultanan Bima), officially known as The Settlements and Lands of Mbojo (Bima: Rasa ro Dana Mbojo), alternatively the Kingdom of Bima (Malay: کرجاءن بيم, romanized: Kerajaan Bima) was a Muslim state in the eastern part of Sumbawa in Indonesia, at the site of the present-day regency of Bima. It was a regionally important polity which formed the eastern limit of Islam in this part of Indonesia and developed an elite culture inspired by Makassarese and Malay models. Bima was subjected to indirect colonial rule from 1908 to 1949 and ceased to be a sultanate in 1958.
