Hadal

Hadal, officially the State of Hadal, is a country in western Osova, with its capital and largest city in Haarib. It is bordered by Jyugoku in the north and Pulosi in the south.

Human remains found in Hadal have been dated to 1 million years old and anthropological research indicates that the area may contain significant records related to the evolution of humans. Contemporary Hadal is predominantly populated by the Hadali people, but the Aramafi people and Osovan-Liangese are influential minority groups. and Shirakawan are the lingua franca on the coast, while Ibrani serves this purpose further inland. Hanaf and Siddhism are the predominant religions, followed by approximately 60 and 33 percent of the population respectively.

The Kingdom of Marassa, covering much of Hadal and parts of southern Jyugoku, was established during the first or second century CE. The state of Badeel encompassed most of the region during the medieval period, with small parts ruled by Medri Ashwa. By the mid-17th century, the Hadali Sultanate had unified much of the region, and East/South Escaric powers had started to establish trading posts along the coast, with workers from Liang and Chanha moving into the region to form mining colonies. In the 1800s, Chiseian influence over Hadal began to grow significantly, and eventually the Sultanate became a Chiseian protectorate. The country would be annexed as a colony by Chisei in 1925.

Home rule was granted to Hadal in 1962, instituting an independent Hadali parliament for the first time, but it would collapse in 1965 as a result of ethnoreligious tensions and political divisions over Chiseian imperial influence. Shortly after, the Hadali Emergency began as the Hadali National Army sought to achieve full independence for the country by force; this led to an extended and expensive Chiseian counterinsurgency campaign. In 1977 the Chiseian Federation was dissolved, and Hadal became officially independent, soon thereafter adopting a collectivist government.

Religious divides between Siddhist and Hanafists would eventually boil over following the Chiseian retreat. In 1989, tensions escalated into massive nationwide riots, which the government failed to put down. The military, led by General Urur Aamin Bedri, launched a Chiseian-backed that unseated the collectivists, and turned the country into a ; constitutional reforms in 1991 would further entrench the military's power through a Committee of Constitutional Protection that presided over civilian institutions.

According to the World Human Rights Journal, the Hadali government has among the worst records on human rights in Osova. The country has been officially condemned by the Ordic League for its paramilitary operations in North Hadal, which international observers have argued constitute against the nation's Aramafi minority. The situation in North Hadal prompted Chisei to cut ties with the Hadali government and impose sanctions, a move which greatly destabilised the Hadali economy at the time.

Hadal is a with a low, high  and extreme. It's economy is largely dependent on mining and agriculture. Though officially nonaligned, the country has close economic and political ties to the Collectivist Bloc, and Arshavati state corporations have had a leading stake in Hadal's resources since the early 2000s.

Hadal is a member of the Ordic League and the Osovan Union.
