Embassy Program of the Kingdom of Hama



A Note from the Minister

All nations are linked in some form. As the world becomes more closely interconnected, these links become stronger and their impact on the decisions that a government and the people of that country make are influenced by these links. Events in seemingly unrelated parts of the world can impact each other. We must make use of these links to better the world for ourselves and each other.

Hama's doors are open for the people and nations of the world. This site acts an online platform by which these interactions can be achieved in a more secure and effective manner. Hama has had a history of trade and interaction with many nations for a very long time. We have relied on others, just as others have relied on us. We are not new to these interactions and are always open to discuss issues and engage, constructively, with other nations and organisations. While the nature of diplomatic interaction has change and the challenges that we face and the means available to us to overcome those challenges changes, the humility we have towards other nations and the confidence that you can have in us, has not changed.

We look forward to working with you.

Regards
Foreign Minister

Some brief information

The Kingdom of Hama (Hamanese: Malikuyatu Hamani) is a nation-state located in northwest Yasteria Major. We share a border with Packilvania to the south east and east while the Sea of Borea lies to the north. The area of what presently comprises Hama has been inhabited for several thousand year by nomadic tribes. These tribes established permanent settlements and developed agriculture a few thousand years ago. They formed city states, engaged in trade and developed complex metallurgy a couple thousand years ago. They often engaged in wars and skirmishes over several centuries.

Christianity propagated over a thousand years ago, with Islam following a few centuries later. There was an increase in development. A few centuries later, the first King united these tribes into a single kingdom that makes up the upper half of modern Hama. Over the years the new nation expanded to the south and east and eventually remained fixed on its modern day borders. The national religion, Abrahamism, was founded a few centuries later. Through imperialism and proselytism, this religion proliferated into the third most practiced religion on Urth. Borea was invaded and colonised in this time, forming the first colony and bringing the notion of the Hamanian Empire into existence. The nation has dealt with many challenges over its modern existence such as a massive earthquake that damaged Komodu and a plague that killed many people. The nation recovered and rebuilt itself into a major player on the world stage.

The nation is ruled by a King who is elected by a Council of Chiefs. This council forms the upper part of the Parliament. The democratically elected House of the People advises the council and represents the people. A strong judiciary headed by the Supreme Court metes out justice and enforces the law. Minority and corporate rights are protected. In addition to which, low taxes make starting a business or investing in a business venture easy and profitable. Our political system is stable. Our institutions are sound and corruption is low. There are reforms to liberalise and democratise the political system.

The population is 20 million people. The official language is Hamanese. The majority ethnic group is the Hamanite nation. The most widely practiced religion is Abrahamism. The nation has high rates of education. Healthcare is universal and freely accessible. Energy, water management and transport infrastructure is well maintained and extensive. Public services are abundant. There is a great deal of social cohesion. Crime rates are low.

The economic output is around 400 billion kiribs, growing consistently over the past few years. Services make up 60% of the economy, followed by industry with 30% and the primary sector with 10%. Financial services and retail make up the biggest portion of the services sector. Construction, chemical products and pharmaceuticals make up the biggest portion of the industrial sector. Animal products and farming make up the biggest portions of the primary sector. The nation has a mix of private and public ownership and entrepreneurship.

Hama has a geography of 1 million square kilometres or just under 400,000 square miles. It has mountains in the east, that form the border with Packilvania. There is a hot desert climate in the south. There is a warm highland grassland plateau in much of the centre and west. There is a mild climate and forested landscape in the north. There are many plants and animals, some of which can be found nowhere else in the world. The elephant is our national animal and appears on many symbols such as our coat of arms.

Applying for a diplomatic mission

Applying for a diplomatic mission is very easy. Just send a letter expressing your desire to establish a diplomatic mission in our country and we will process your request and get back to you as soon as we can. You can include any special requests such as the architectural style in which you might like your embassy to be built. You can also include requests for special agreements with our country. These can vary from economic to cultural to scientific to trade related agreements. We are open to considering any requests that you may have.

We reserve the right to deny or accept a diplomatic mission or to deny or accept special requests or requests for diplomatic agreements. Like any other civilised and modern country, we have rules and values that guide the way that we work and, by extension, the decisions that we make. We are generally neutral and open to engaging with all nations. But we have our reservations and preferences. We will communicate with nations on these issues and remain open to negotiation and discussion.

Diplomatic immunity is offered to all high level diplomatic personnel and senior staff. This immunity means that these officials cannot be prosecuted or summoned before a court of law. This immunity exists to protect diplomatic staff and maintain decorum in line with international customs and values and norms. While your embassy is on Hamanian land, it belongs to the nation that uses it as both private property and sovereign territory. You may dispose of it as you see fit and it is not subject to same laws that other land within the borders of our country are subject to.

Codification of international maritime and shipping customs
By the Head of the Department of Maritime and Shipping Law, Kasamu Wadahin


Nations have the authority to direct the use of and movement through their territorial waters. The use of international waters, or those waters which lie outside of the sole jurisdiction or control of any one state, has largely been guided by customs and traditions rather than codified and consistent internationally mutually agreed-upon principles in instruments such as treaties and international agreements. Several international grouping have attempted to establish some framework for a law governing the use of the sea. After the 2014 Dveria War, Vekaiyu, South Hills, Laiatan and the British Grand Pacific signed the Kerillo Accord, by which the Straits of Tano were opened to international shipping. In 2018, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Hama, Dajida Taru invited Laiatan, Vekaiyu, and South Hills (who agreed) to the signing of the Northern Pact by which the use of and movement through the Sea of Borea and Gulf of Itur.

In many other parts of the world, there are no other movements to create standards by which to regulate maritime and shipping law in international waters or create common criteria and standards that nations can follow when creating their own regulations and laws for use of and movement through their territorial waters. This creates certain problems, which I have briefly summarized as follows:
  • Arbitration of disputes concerning collisions or sinking of ships.
  • Determination of compensation for work at or injuries arising from work at sea for workers.
  • Determination of liability and responsibility for pollution and wast dumped at sea that affects other nations directly through the deposition of waste in their waters or indirectly through the death of fish and other marine mammals upon which those nations' fishing industries may rely.
  • Coordination of and delineation of responsibility for refugees and others stranded at sea.
  • Creation of sea routes and coordination of sea traffic to ensure the most expedient and efficient navigation of the sea.
  • Combating and preventing piracy and terrorism at sea.


These issues are merely a few of the vast body of matters that require urgent international attention. This is a process that requires the participation of all nations. The process by which laws can be created or conventions put in place which are agreeable to as many parties as possible particularly those which rely on a single body of water for their navigation must take the diverse agreements and bodies of laws and customs that already exist into account. Some nations, such as the Realm of the Oan Isles and the Grand Duchy of Dragons have entered into sophisticated bilateral treaties that set out specific conditions of Mar interaction. The Auroran Continental Assembly had an equally complex and sophisticated system which is no longer in legal effect (but remains widely observed in and around the Auroran continental water system) due to the tumultuous regional political situation as a result of the dissolution of the ACA, formation of rival succeeding alliances and the trepidation unification of these alliances and the lack of clarity on what laws remain and do not remain applicable. While I have only mentioned a few of the attempts at codification of the customs of the sea, the reality remains that there is a dearth of unified, widely agreed-upon and codified standards and there remain many contentious issues on use of the sea.

The role of foreign aid in bringing peace to warzones
By Fatima Muhammadu, Minister of the Home


Foreign aid is a powerful weapon to use to solve, mitigate the effects of or catalyse an end to international and civil violence. Foreign aid contributes to the upliftment of communities by giving them the resources to fund important public services that they would otherwise not have access to. Some nations rely on foreign aid to finance education, sanitation, healthcare, food and basic infrastructure. Numerous communities depend on the generosity of foreign donors to help them withstand the challenges of ethnic violence and strife.

The role that foreign aid plays is greater than the direct effects of kind or monetary contributions of a humanitarian nature. Foreign aid can also be a great tool to facilitate negotiations by which warring groups can discuss terms of surrender, ceasefire, power sharing or territorial cessation depending on the contexts. Foreign aid can be a powerful tool on the negotiations table because it helps to alleviate some of the stresses that combatants might face when dealing with the civilians that they encounter in combat zones or have to protect and govern. Countries that are more willing to provide financial or kind contributions are more likely than not to be relied upon as reliable and hands on negotiators.

Foreign aid serves as an indirect investment into a community. While the returns may not necessarily be apparent in the short or even medium run, there may be positive effects in the long run. Public support might turn to the donor nation. When this nation attempts to mediate conflicts or enter into agreements, the people of that nation may be amenable to negotiations. Foreign aid can facilitate developments such as infrastructure and healthcare that makes that country a good place to invest in in the future and from which substantial economic benefits can be extracted as the situation stabilises and the effects of aid materialise in upward social mobility and improved lifestyles.

Nations are advised to explore more routes in diplomacy than merely military, political or economic tools. These tools can be effective, but a holistic and more sound interaction with other nations is achieved by incorporating a number of methods and techniques, primary among them is foreign aid. The relationships that are forged and promoted among donors and donor recipients are invaluable in dealing with present and future conflict scenarios. The complexity of international diplomacy requires concerted and expansive action, and a humanitarian touch in the form of foreign aid is a great way to begin.

15TH DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF EUROKRAINE




Greetings to the Hamanian Empire,

Your nation's culture, is most defined and of best interest in us. And due to our interest in your nation's culture, and as a whole your exports, we would love to request an exchange of embassies between Hama and Eurokraine. And our biggest priority in this exchange of relations is trade to hopefully benefit both of our nations economically. Our exports are filled with quality, such as cotton, automobiles, and gemstones, with gemstones coming from Eurokraine being one of the best on Urth. There is also a chance we could potentially cooperate in foreign aid to countries devastated by war as well. Hopefully, this request will be accepted among your foreign affairs department, and both Hama and Eurokraine can live with peace between eachother.

Best Regards,
Ayaize Cela, President of the 15th Democratic Republic of Eurokraine

Official Communication of the Hamanian Empire

To: President of Hama
From: Foreign Minister of Hama
Greetings,

While I doubt that your culture possesses the sophistication of Hamanian culture, we are pleased that you have the rudiments to appreciate it. His Majesty, the King, will be willing to send a consulate. On the matter of trade, while we cannot agree to one without certain processes taking place, our partners in the private sector are interested in reaching where political and diplomatic protocol and interests cnnot, serving benefit to both our nations regardless.

The Royal Diamond Company would like to take a tour of your gemstone mines and hopes to negotiate renting or leasing them. While Eurokraine has beautiful gemstones, there are structural barriers in the gemstone market, as I am sure you have experienced which you may have implied in your correspondence, that make making an impact on the international gemstone market difficult particularly for a third world country such as yourselves. The Royal Diamond Company would like to assist you in this regard, by requesting your government's support to act as a consigner, selling raw diamonds on the international market on your behalf. Considering the influence and proximity that the Royal Diamond Company has in and to one of the most lucrative cut diamond markets in the world, Komodu, it would be in your best interests to seriously consider this request.

All the best.
