The Kingdom of Hama (Hamanese: Malikuyatu Hamani) is a sovereign nation located in northern Yasteria. It borders Packilvania to the south and south-east and Arrelak to the northwest, while the Borean Sea lies to the north. The country has overseas territories that form part of the broader Hamanian Empire. It has a long and complex relationship with its colonies and the people who live there.

The area that forms Hama has been inhabited for thousands of years. Hunters and gatherers first inhabited the land. They were nomadic, following the herds and gathering plants that grew. They began farming and herding animals. They became increasingly sessile and developed complex polytheistic religions. They extracted and processed iron. They constructed sophisticated infrastructure, developed complex alloys like bronze and began traveling over land and sea. They developed into many tribes that had distinct dialects, beliefs, and cultures. They were assimilated under the first king for whom the country is named. They received Islam in the sixth century CE. They explored and invaded the eastern part of Borea in the early seventeenth century. They had a war with Kalatianburg over control of the continent and over disputes in its slave trade, which culminated in the formation of the modern-day elvine state of Kyrloth. They also invaded Itur after a misunderstanding led to a war with the natives. This disputes drew the attention of Laiatan which entered the conflict. The country developed over time. With the invention of the steam engine in the early eighteenth century CE, the country rapidly industrialized. It has developed into a major regional power in the northern Yasteria area.

Hama has a population of 20 million people. Its most spoken language is Hamanese. The largest ethnic group is the Hamanite nation. The most widely practiced religion is Abrahamism. The Pacitallian Advancement and Development Index score is an A. There is universal and affordable access to housing, education, and healthcare. There is an efficient waste management, water management, transport, and energy infrastructure. The people enjoy relatively comfortable lives. In general, income and wealth are evenly distributed. Unfortunately, discrimination against minorities remains a persistent problem. In general, the society is traditional and patriarchal. There is respect for authority, a strong family structure, and male dominance. Women are, however, better off than many in the region. There are relatively sound institutions. Justice is generally executed efficiently and impartially. Patents and contracts are respected.

The King is the head of state and head of the government. He appoints the executive branch and promulgates laws. The bicameral parliament forms the legislative branch. The Council of Chiefs has the power to make laws, while the House of the People is a consultative body that represents the people. The Chiefs rule over tribes and hold a great deal of political influence. The Doharian Order is a military monastic order of the Abrahamic religion. It oversees the military. The military of Hama is deeply integrated into the military of the rest of the empire. It is helmed by the Grand Council of the order. The imperial navy is a deep sea expeditionary force that has nuclear aircraft carriers in its naval arsenal and replenishment-at-sea capabilities.

The country is developed and industrialized. It has a GDP of 400 billion dollars and a GDP per capita of 20,000 dollars. The services sector, which makes up the largest portion of the economy, is dominated by financial services and tourism. The country has a robust shipbuilding and arms manufacturing sector. The primary agricultural products are beef and maize. There is a thriving animal products industry as well. The country has trade agreements with a number of countries. It forms a part of the Northern Pact, an organisation for the promotion of safe and balanced use of the Borean and Iturian seas. The country has diplomatic relations with several countries such as Kuthernburg and the United Kingdom. It is a middle power and exerts some influence over world affairs.

TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS
[hr]
The Kingdom of Hama is a sovereign nation state. This means that it has full capacity to manage its internal affairs and is respected or at least widely recognized as an independent nation. This nation is also a major colonial power. This nation controls territories that do not form part of its extant realms. These colonies are called overseas territories. They are under the control and protection of Hama. These means that the central government of Hama manages some of their affairs such as foreign relations, monetary policy, and defense, along with others. These entities are not fully independent even if they have some autonomy. These territories broadly form part of a geopolitical entity known as the Hamanian Empire. This term is used to describe territories, mandates or protectorates of the Kingdom of Hama.

These territories, regardless of their level of autonomy, do not enjoy the same status as the Kingdom of Hama within the empire. They are recognised as tributary states. This influences the status of their citizens. Each subject of the crown (legal person under the authority of the Crown of Hama) is a citizen of the colony in which they were born or naturalized. They are not citizens of Hama. While the Crown, by way of edicts and decrees passed by the King of Hama, can extend special protections and rights that other people may not have, but ultimately the people of the realms are not the same or equal. This status and separation arise from the Hamanite desire to maintain the classical homogeneity of their country. While this does not form part of the legal framework, it does exist and many policies and laws exhibit these characteristics.

The legislative branch makes the law. The Parliament is made up of two chambers. The Council of Chiefs is the upper house. It is made up of the rulers of the constituent tribes of Hama. It has the power to pass laws and overturn a veto. The House of the People is elected by the people every few years. It is a consultative body that issues non-binding recommendations. It is made up of many political parties. It has as many as twenty political parties because the election threshold is very small. The largest party is the Hamanian People’s Party. It is a nationalist conservative party. In general, the House of the People is not a militant organization and is largely dominated by the center and right-wing parties. The King has the power to dissolve the lower branch, but he is obliged to call elections as soon as possible.

The legal system of Hama developed around a legal tradition called Sadunic law. A plaintiff presents an accusation to the court. If the accusation is merited then the defendant is summoned. Qualified legal representatives of both parties freely present evidence and cross-examine witnesses before a single impartial judge. The judge makes a ruling in the end. This decision can be appealed to a superior court. A single case cannot be tried twice unless there was a significant procedural error or substantial new evidence has come to light. Inferior courts have jurisdiction over a fixed area and over some issues. Superior courts mostly receive appeals arising from courts within a limited area. The highest court is the Supreme Court. Its ruling is binding on all courts and cannot be appealed. The judges of superior courts are appointed by the King with the advice of a panel of peers. Judges of inferior courts are appointed solely by qualified panels.

The law presumes that a person is innocent until proven guilty. There are numerous ways in which punishments are carried out. Unlike courts in democratic countries, execution, banishment, lashing and forced labor are used as well. The production, possession, and distribution of pornographic material are illegal. Homosexuality, abortion, and prostitution (and compliance with these acts) are banned. Citizens are forbidden from drinking alcohol, gambling and eating pork. Vehicles drive on the left and the minimum driving age is 16. Blasphemy, incitement to revolution, hate speech and criticism of the King are serious crimes. Theft, sexual assault, and drug trafficking are punished severely. The crime rate is extremely low. Due to the patriarchal social norms, domestic abuse, especially against women, is a troublesome issue and failure to report is high. The police is well-funded, centrally government and held to high account. It is trustworthy and efficient, but it can be brutal.

MILITARY
Factbook of the Imperial Armed Forces

Coat of arms of the Imperial Armed Forces
[hr]
Introduction[hr]The military of the Hamanian Empire is comprised of all the armed forces of the nations under the control of the Crown of Hama. The empire is currently comprised of three nations Avania, Lupania and Hama, with the former two being tributary states of the latter. This means that there are asymmetric agreements in place that give Hama control over Avania and Lupania’s foreign affairs, military and monetary policy. Avania does not have an independent military of its own nor the right to declare war and make peace but depends on Hama for its protection. Lupania has an active local militia but it does not have the right to declare war and make peace. Although Hama has the duty to defend Avania and Lupania and itself from attack, it is able to raise resources and men from both nations to contribute to their defence. The military as such is formed of the Imperial Armed Forces (Mubaraturin Musalahin Kuwatu).

Structure and functions[hr]The military is led by the King at its apex as the commander-in-chief. The Cabinet advises the King on defence policy. The Minister of Defence handles the daily administration and political oversight of the organisation. The Order of the Doharu is responsible for exercising commanding, implementing directives, operational management and strategic developments. Its top leadership, formed of the Grand Doharian Council is the highest in this institution and virtually appoints all commanding officers of the armed forces. It has placed its own members as senior commanding officers. This relationship has led to tension between the Order of the Doharu and the King in the past due to the extent that they are able to influence and co-govern the military. In the distant past, tensions escalated so severely that there was a civil war.

The military is divided into three branches: the Imperial Navy (which is responsible for maritime combat), the Imperial Army (which is responsible for terrestrial combat) and the Imperial Air Force (which is responsible for aerial defence). The Imperial Navy is further subdivided into two components: the Imperial Marines (which is responsible for amphibious combat and special operations) and the Imperial Coast Guard (which is responsible for maritime law enforcement and falls under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Police during peacetime). The military is primarily responsible for ensuring the defence of Hamanian, Lupanian and Avanian territory, their people and assets. they are also responsible for search and rescue, fighting piracy and terrorism, and counterinsurgency. During an imposition of Marshal law (whereby a state of emergency is declared and the government is given extraordinary powers to deal with a threat), the armed forces are given greater jurisdiction and powers.

History[hr]The armed forces has existed in some form as for centuries. While its formal establishment as a modern armed force occurred relatively recently, its predecessors can be traced over many centuries. When the tribes were still divided and existed as independent states (insofar as such primitive states could be considered states) they had a class of warriors who kept the peace and enforced the law or even conducted raids of other villages and tribes. In general, the men of the community were called to defend it in times of war or attack an enemy state. Men were not spared this task and women were forbidden from participating. In fact, this principle remains today.

The King who founded the country, King Hama had commanded an army of all the tribes against an invasion by the Packilvanians. The Chiefs swore their arms to him when the need arose and a battle was nigh. The Kings began issuing edicts to guide how the constituent militaries worked and what their goals were. Over time the roles of law enforcement and defence gradually formed into different entities with divisions of power and authority. The King was given greater command of the armies, reinforced and consolidated the more times Hama entered war. The Kings gradually handed more responsibilities in terms of management to the Order of the Doharu . It was King Musa, however, who abdicated his authority to the Order of the Doharu. The Doharians quickly consolidated control over the military often refusing to fight the King’s petty wars or at least frustrating him in those pursuits, so much so that the military could not intervene in the 18th-century invasion of Itur which was largely carried out by mercenaries of the Royal Trading Company.

The King extended the control of a rival order, the Order of the Hassassim, over intelligence and special operations, circumventing the military when he needed more thorough, but quiet operations to be carried out. In the late 18th century, the Iturian invasion and the political and economic consequences it precipitated and the deteriorating relationship between the King and the Order of the Doharu resulted in a civil war. The war ended with a law being passed that established the Imperial Armed Forces as they exist today and clearly delineated the authority of the King and Doharim, sealing the Doharim’s links to the military through statute. As aviation technology advanced, an aviation wing was added to the armed forces until it developed into its own force in the 20th century.

Personnel[hr]Only males are allowed to serve. Hamanite males are obligated to complete 1-year training after the completion of tertiary education. Other male subjects in the empire are allowed to serve, but they are not obliged to do so. Females may not serve as combat personnel. Only males with physical or mental conditions or males whose serving in the military would adversely affect their families are exempt from mandatory training. Religious convictions or acceptance into a university are not regarded as valid reasons. Hamanite males without a valid excuse who evade mandatory training are put to hard labour for 6 months. Males must report for training if their circumstances change such that they may serve. Those who have received training must complete 2 weeks mandatory service every year unless excused by the Military District Personnel Administrator of the area that they live in. If they are not excused they will be fined 10,000 dahabs. None humans may not serve as combat personnel except as reserves and members of the local militia. This means most men from Lupania are forbidden from serving.

The military has 200,000 full-time combat personnel which makes up 0.61% of the total population of the empire. The reserve force has 1 million combat personnel which makes up 3% of the total population of the empire. Personnel undergo a year of basic training. Those who proceed to full-time careers go for another 2 years of training. Pilots and sailors receive another year or two of training. Those who go into service after the first year are corporals or midshipmen respectively. Those who enter after completing the full two years enter a rank higher. There are 30 general military schools spread across the country which focus on fitness, basic combat (eg. hand-to-hand, sword/dagger, gun/artillery), survival skills and basic military formations and strategy. The more specialised military academies focus on full-time combatants. The national military university is focused on postgraduate education in the military sciences and research. Because of the rigorous and holistic education they receive, Hamanian soldiers are some of the best in the world. Academies draw inspiration from the South Hills and Morstaybishlian military academy systems, doctrine, methodology and curriculum.

Expenditure[hr]The military receives an allocation from the national budget. In 2018 it received 24 billion kiribs. Which forms 4.4% of the economic output of the empire, although Hama alone contributes most of this amount, paying 6% of its economic output towards the military, 90% of the budget which is about 22 billion kiribs. Although the remainder is contributed proportionally by Avania and Lupania, Lupania pays for its own militia. The budget is distributed as follows: 30% to the army, 25% to the navy, 20% to the air force, 10% to the marines, 5% to the coast guard and 5% to additional non-combat operations. The Combined Maritime Service (navy, marines and coast guard) receive the “lion’s share” of the budget (40% of the budget). Salaries make up 30% of the budget, operational expenses make up 20%, maintenance and upgrades make up 20%, procurement, capital projects and investments comprise 15%, the administration makes up 8% while 7% is for other expenses.

Overseas military installations[hr]The armed forces has military installations (bases, posts and stations) throughout the constituent countries of the empire. The naval hub of the nation is shared by the ports of Ahamadu and Komodu. The nation once had a base on the Ilahim Azuria (Islands of Azuria) currently known as Mocambyk that it used to assert some control and influence in the Azurian Sea south of Aurora. It abandoned its base there when the islands were given independence. It has aimed to get into agreements to put posts and stations in countries all over the world.

RELIGION
[hr]
http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Abrahamism

TopAllahu (“God” in Radunic calligraphy), Bottom Abrahamist House of Worship. https://i.imgur.com/MPeSrU9.jpg

Abrahamism is the name of a set of beliefs and practices that arose from the writings of King Bamu and preeminent religious scholars that were compiled into the Book of Faith several centuries ago. The classification of Abrahamism and the limitations of its boundaries has been a challenge as the core tenet of the faith is a belief in God. In this sense, the terms “the religion of God”, when used in the context of Abrahamist society or literature simply comprise a belief in God. This ambiguous term blurs the practices and belief systems that can be considered Abrahamist. In its widest interpretation, belief in God can include many monotheistic religions. Since the set of beliefs and values that shape the religion were a collection of values taken from Islam, Christianity and Judaism, it is implicit that “belief in God” and “the religion of God” are framed by Abrahamic ideals.

The Abrahamic religion is named after Abraham, a man regarded by Islam, Judaism, and Christianity as the father of faith. He is said to have been the first post-Noahic figure to believe in and fear God. By the Abrahamic covenant that was made with him by God, it is claimed that the era of monotheistic belief was introduced in the world and made manifest by Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. These three religions, along with Abrahamism itself, are termed, Abrahamic religions because of their links to Abraham. It is founded on God. God is the name and title of the deity of the religion to whom all human devotion must be given. God is all powerful, knowing and present. He created the Universe and everything that is in it for his glory. He is one and lacks nothing. He is trustworthy and makes moral requirements of his creations. While the religion is avowedly monotheistic, it is acknowledged that firstly (1) man has limited faculties by which he can understand and perceive God and His Law, (2) God manifests himself in the world and the ways by which he manifests himself are revelations of his nature and (3) each religious movement is a flawed attempt to fully encapsulate who God is and what he wants. The principles upon which the three Abrahamic religions agree (or were perceived to be agreed upon) were condensed as follows: God is one, the Creator of All, all-powerful and all-good, human failure to fully devote to God is called sin, firstly by God’s mercy and love and secondly by man’s appropriate response to repent (adherence to divinely mandated moral values) are the paths by which God-human reconciliation can be achieved, and the existence of angels.

Humans are believed to have created to be at one with God, but their rebellion against God as incited by Demons led by the Devil causes them to act immorally and subsequently separate from God. The existential dichotomy of the universe is that God and the angels are good, the Devil and the fallen angels (or demons) are bad and humans are in the middle being pulled in either direction for their immortal soul. The soul is the first part of a trinity that includes the body and mind, that forms a human being. It is believed that by a combination of divine mercy and human righteousness, humans will redevelop a close relationship with God. The afterlife is said to consist of Heaven and Hell. A lack of faith in God is condemnable with an eternity in Hell. Faith is rewarded with a place in Heaven, furthermore, good deeds are rewarded with affirmation, celebration, and promotion in Heaven. The Book of Faith created significant ambiguities in that it only covers and elaborates upon the fundamental values of faith as stated above, it left significant holes in the concise values that make up “upright” morals or religious tradition. As such these values and moral traditions were developed according to the circumstances of the Hamanite people and the Christian, Judaic and Islamic religion. As such most of what is described in this article are things that are observed by MOST Hamanites, that are GENERALLY agreed to as important but CANNOT be authoritatively said to be infallible or exact.

It is generally agreed that morals or natural laws are the acts by which humans align themselves with God. This term encompasses things such as the direction of prayer, rituals and the structure of the religious community. The ones that are generally agreed upon by the whole Abrahamic community are listed hereafter. Sexually immoral acts include extramarital, bestial and homosexual intercourse, as well as masturbation and lust. Economically immoral acts include greed, gluttony, laziness, and swindling. Emotionally immoral acts include wrath and hatred. Socially immoral acts include indifference to the suffering of others, disobedience to parents, jealousy, gossip, slander, and boasting. Most Abrahamists also believe that the consumption of alcohol and pork is sinful, and that food must be prepared and slaughtered in a particular way. Fasting, charity, study, and service are considered important parts of spiritual growth. Other elements of religion such as prayer and worship are treated as of tertiary importance. Within the Abrahamist mindset, faith in God is the primary focus of faith that is made manifest by good acts and aversion to bad acts. Other aspects of religion that are treated as important by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are seen as tertiary concepts that developed largely by and for people.

There are no mandatory religious holidays. Some days are regarded as important for reflection on faith, but they are not regarded as obligatory. Most Abrahamists do not observe religious holidays. Eminent scholar Bekazulu Dubu said that the birthday is probably the most important day of the year as it affords a chance to reflect on God’s wonder and ask for new things. Some sects mark special days, but in the broader Abrahamist religion, holidays do not matter. In Abrahamism, there is no set day for rest. While weekly rest is encouraged, it is not mandated. Saturday developed out of tradition and is popularly observed as a day of rest. Some cultures observe different days based on their circumstances. Rest is seen as a personal choice to not merely refrain from work but to meditate on God and his word.

Fellowship is regarded as very important. The government of the Kingdom of Hama and other wealthy benefactors built “Houses of Worship” for communities to gather in, worship and study. Each House of Worship had an Overseer to manage its affairs and lead the community of the faithful, occupying a similar role to an Imam, Rabbi or Priest. There is no formal organization of the religious community like a Church. All the communities are organized by the government and their assets are the property of the state and their overseers are appointed by the state. There is no head of the religion. Each country with a sizeable Abrahamist population has an Abrahamic Union. They are organized according to the administrative divisions of Hama. This model is copied in other nations with Abrahamist populations. Those that are not supported by the indigenous governments are supported by the government of Hama. Missionaries are often deployed by and under the auspices of the state to spread Abrahamism. The Abrahamist religion is very popular in the world because it is simple and non-onerous. It can easily become part of communities of different, races, cultures and religions. Furthermore, the extensive proselytism and charity of its missionaries and the expansionism of the Hamanite government have led to a large part of the people of the world observing it.

LANGUAGE
[hr]
The Hamanese language (Kulumu Hamanse) is the official language of Hama. It is a largely homogeneous language with very few variations or dialects. Some communities have distinct slang terms and some professions develop jargon of their own. This language originated many years ago and is the only language of its language family. It resembles the Semitic family in the triconsonantal syllabic structure, but its grammar is very analytical, whereas the Semitic languages are almost entirely synthetic.

There are three tenses: past, present and future. Past tense indicates preceding events, present tense indicates current events and future tense indicates events that are predicted. The interrogative mood is a question and is indicated by na after the main verbal clause. The subjunctive mood is indicated by the word mahumbi and expresses a wish or uncertainty. The imperative mood indicates a command or instruction and usually begins with a verb. It is almost always in present tense. Sometimes the imperative mood is indicated by the word wala which is similar to must. The stative mood is an ordinary sentence that states a fact or observation.

The primary sector makes up 5% of the economy. There is a large wildlife sector. The wildlife in Hama is heavily exploited to produce luxury goods. An industry has developed around the animals to make this sector sustainable in the long term. There are many game parks and farms for animals such as crocodiles (used to make boots and leather), elephants (used for ivory) and other animals. There is a large livestock farming sector as well. Camel, cattle, sheep, goats, and horses are major domesticated animals. There are some fishing, mining, and forestry, but these operations are small and lack funding. This sector continues to shrink as farmers relocate to the colonies (where the agricultural sector is more robust) and as new entrants into the sector decrease.

Education
This article is about the entire HAMANIAN EMPIRE

The system of education of Hama borrowed heavily from that of Packilvania during the country’s modernisation a couple centuries ago. It has developed into its own unique system over time.

School is divided into 12 levels. Each level is one year long. After successful completion of the first three levels, a student is given a Beginners Certification, by which they can progress to the next course. This often comprises basic language, life and numeracy skills.

After successful completion of the next five years, the student is given a Intermediate Certification, by which they can progress to the next course. The academic portion often comprises education in language, mathematics, biology, geography, sociology, economics, management, business, accounting, administration, politics, chemistry and physics. The practical portion often comprises of capentry, masonry, dramatics, visual arts, dance, singing, fabrics, metalwork, electricity and gardening. A student will move through these subjects and take on different combinations based on their abilities and interests.

The final phase is made up of four levels. In this phase students will specialise. All students will take on language and mathematics, but will specialise in Areas of Competence (AOC). The Economics AOC is made up of economics, business, marketing, administration, accounting and management. The Science AOC is made up of human anatomy, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics and geography. The Technical AOC is made up of building, mechanics and electrical systems. The Practical AOC is made up of masonry, carpentry, fabrics, plant growing, animal raising and metalwork. The Humanities AOC is made up of sociology, law, politics, history, psychology and philosophy. The Arts AOC is made up of music, dramatics, dance, visual art, photo-filmography, and graphic design.

Each AOC has different criteria by which a student is admitted. Some students can take on more subjects. Some students can replace some subjects with others. Many campuses are specialised for particular AOCs. Essential skills in language, numeracy skills, life skills and computing are taught to all students. The school year begins in January and ends in December with a five day holiday every two months. The school day is usually eight hours long. There are usually additional classes and extramurals that can extend the day for another four hours.

Promotion marks are given according to system of credits. Credits are awards for attendance, oral, written and constructed assignments, exams and test, and additional work at the discretion of the School AOC Overseer for weaker students. The Matriculation Certification is mandatory for acceptance into university. Students usually begin school at five years old, although a two year delay is allowed for kids with developmental problems.

The tertiary system is made up of Technical Tertiary Education and Academic Tertiary Education. These are usually provided by Specialist Schools or Comprehensive Schools. These have Private, Government or Mixed ownership. There are two qualifications at entry level: the Diploma Certification or the higher Baccalaureate Certification. Postgraduate education goes from Master Certification to Scholar Certification (equivalent to the Doctoral Degree). These two confer a post nominal of M or S. Public schools are groups according to geography under one University. The University is the overseeing authority for tertiary education in an area and is named after its seat.

The University of Komodu is generally the largest and most prestigious. Other universities include the University of Wawa, the University of Sana, the University of Bagadada, the University of Ramala, the University of Terana, the University of Damasaka, the University of Kahira, the University of Dabi and the University of Amana. Teachers are lesser educators. But Lecturers also conduct research and develop material. They are often called Eminent Masters or Scholars of the university in which they have a fellowship. They have the post nominal E. M. or E. S. followed by the university eg. KMD for Komodu, WWA for Wawa or KHR for Kahira.

Student performance at Beginner, Intermediate and Matriculation phases is generally good. The country has a high research output. The country has innovated in metallurgy with the synthesis of the heaviest known element: Madunium, developed a working model for string theory and contributions to reflex neurology among other achievements. Some colonies vary slightly on this system according their own social, political and cultural contexts, but there is a uniform system for the administration of education.
