| + | The name Hama is derived from the Hamanese word for sojourner and became the ethnonym for a group of travellers (consisting of merchants, mercenaries and others) that moved to the area that presently forms the Yasteria portion of the Hamanian Empire. As they became sessile, the name Hama stuck and transformed from a description of a loose alliance of nomads but the name of a nation. The demonym (adjective by which the people are described and things from the nation are identified) is Hamanian. |

| − | The Hamanian Empire is made up of all the territories ruled by the Kingdom of [[Hama]]. It originated with the invasion, occupation, and annexation of eastern [[Borea]] in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is primarily made up of territory in the [[Yasteria]] supercontinent/geographic region of [[Urth]].

| | == History == | | == History == |
| − | === Founding === | + | === Prehistory === |
| − | The Kingdom of Hama was founded in the 14th century. King Hama united the tribes of mainland Hama. They signed a treaty in which the chiefs of the tribes pledged allegiance to the King and agreed to amalgamate their tribal lands into one nation-state. | + | The area that presently forms the Yasterian portion of the empire, known as Yasterian Hama, remained largely uninhabited for a long time even when other part of the world were inhabited. There is evidence of metal tools and pottery that is traced to 1,000 BCE. This is believed to mark the first presence of humans in the area. Through mitochondrial DNA tracing and genetic testing of remains traced to that era, the Hamanite people, who presently form the largest ethnic group in the empire, have dominated the empire are believed to be direct descendants of these early people. With the absence of evidence of permanent settlement such as farming implements and physical structures, there is consensus among anthropologists that these early people were nomads. |
| − | === Colonisation of Borea ===
| + | |
| − | In 1590, Ali Matu asked King Ahamadu for funding to explore Borea. The King agreed and Matu arrived in Borea. He had a clandestine mission to prospect for gold. The King had been aware of this, but he needed Ali to collect information that would aid in the colonization of Borea. The King used this information to send General Yeshu Abadulahu to invade and colonize Borea. He built the city of Ahamadu and a castle inland. The native population was displaced and enslaved over the next 60 years. The eastern portion of Borea was taken over by Hama and the boundaries of its colony were fixed as the colonization process stabilized.

| − | === Kalatian-Hamanian War ===

| − | The Kalatian-Hamanian War was a protracted armed conflict that took place in Borea primarily between Kalatianburg and Hama.
| + | |
| − | === War for Southern Itur ===
| + | |
| − | In the 1700, Shafiru Mahadu built a small city on Isa Island, south of Itur. He traded with the native lupine population. Bakiru Lahidu triggered a war with the Warren people of Warreland when he captured their princess and paraded her as a circus attraction in 1729. The Warren people attacked Port Isa in 1730. They defeated their defenses. The Hamanians retreated to the massive Fort Isa. King Musa of Hama sent reinforcements who defeated the wolves in the Battle of Port Isa and reclaimed the city.

| − | == Members ==
| + | Even though they lacked a session existence, the way in which the remains are buried and the relative sophistication of the artefacts found there, most anthropologists believe that the Hamanite people migrated over a relatively short time to the area. They are believed to have travelled in large groups called caravans consisting of domesticated animals such as camels, horses and cattle and many goods. They are believed to have camped for extended periods of time. There is evidence to suggest that these caravans had strong social hierarchies, sophisticated social norms, and some form of polytheistic religion that set them apart from each other. There is evidence to suggest that these caravans competed over resources such as water, pasture for their livestock, routes over which to travel and access to migrating herds. This competition is believed to have been violent, sparking many wars. The first evidence of the ethnonym "Hama" is a stone tablet from Packilvania that mentions a nation of travellers from the area where Yasterian Hama is presently located. |
| − | List of members:
| + | |
| − | * The Kingdom of [[Hama]] (''Malikuyatu Hamania'') is the mother state of the empire. It has a population of 20 million people who mostly speak Hamanese, practice Abrahamism and belong to the Hamanite ethnic group. The nation is divided into tribes which are ruled by a chief. Together these Chiefs form a council that appoints the King and makes the law. The total economic output is approximately 400 billion dollars and 20,000 dollars per capita. The nation has a diverse economy that relies on banking, tourism, diamond cutting and ship building. The nation has an area of approximately 1 million square kilometers with mountains to the east, arid desert to the south, plains in the central plateau, and forests in the north.
| + | |
| − | * The Principality of [[Avania]] (''Emiriyatu Avania'') is a tributary of state of the Kingdom of Hama. It has a population of 8 million people, most of whom speak Avanian belong to the Avanian ethnic group and practice a syncretism of nature veneration and Abrahamism. The nation is ruled by the Governor General on behalf of the King of Hama. The total economic output is approximately 80 billion dollars and the per capita is 10,000 dollars. The nation has an economy based on banking, shipping, logging, fishing and farming. The nation has an area of 800,000 square kilometres with dry and cold steppe in the north, black mountains to the northwest, lakes to the west, forests in the south and interior.

| − | The politics of the Hamanian Empire take place in the framework of a monarchy. The King is elected by the Council of Chiefs for life. This is currently [[Maduallahu]]. He is the head of the empire and of the military. He appoints the cabinet of Hama, viceroys, generals, senior civil servants and ambassadors. The Parliament forms the highest law making branch. The Council of Chiefs is comprised of the tribal rulers of Hama, and possess the power to pass laws. The House of the People is elected but serves as a rubber stamp body on the government's authority.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Territories have varying levels of autonomy. The Realm of Avania is located in northeast Borea. It is largely autonomous except in matters of foreign, monetary and defence policy. The Cities of Abadulahu and Ahamadu are directly administered by the crown. The Realm of Borea has the power to legislate on issues devolved to it by the Parliament. Each territory has a Viceroy who represents the King. Through the secret services, the military, economic dominance and legal instruments, the central government retains a vast amount of influence over the affairs of its colonies.
| + | The first settlements were built between 500 and 300 years BCE. The oldest of these believed to be the Rahadunim ruins of southeast Yasterian Hama. The Rahadunim ruins are a collection of primitive structures made of mud. Although much of the area is destroyed, there are some structures (in mostly poor condition) that show evidence of settlement that can be dated to circa 500 BCE. There are also the Thadiman ruins. These are ruins of what is believed to have been a pagan shrine built of massive pieces of stone. There is no evidence of settlement around the area, by anthropologists believe that increased sophistication in religion may have inspired a community to develop around or near this structure. |

| − | The armed forces of Hama compromise military of the Hamanian Empire. They are made up of three branches. The King has the sole power to declare war and make peace. He has supreme direction of the armed forces. He is advised by his Cabinet on matters of defence policy. The Minister of Defence handles the daily administration. The Chief of Staff is the highest professional officer and oversees the daily operations of the armed forces. Paramilitary forces exist that are administered by the territorial government to supplement the military and law enforcement.

| | + | Much of Hama's history is not written. The original Hamanites were illiterate. Rather than writing, they developed a strong oral tradition to pass on information. Pictographs were also used to pass on information or preserve stories. These pictures here painted or carved into cave walls or stone tablets. The ancestor of the Radunic script that is used today, was introduced by merchants from Packilvania who wanted to trade with the primitive natives. They brought the Syriac script that they had used from their own part of Packilvania and imparted it upon the people of Hama. Unfortunately, writing was limited to the elites and most people's histories remained unwritten for centuries. |

| − | The foreign policy of the Hamanian Empire is shaped by the central government in Hama. The Parliament has the sole power to ratify treaties. The King has the sole power to appoint and dismiss diplomats and to receive foreign emissaries and recognise governments. Some colonies pursue international cooperation under the framework of the central government.

| − | The legal system that is applied in each part of the empire varies, according to the needs of that society. In the Realm of Avania, some civil disputes are resolved by traditional leaders such as elders and chiefs. In the Kingdom of Hama and the Realm of Borea, there is a centralised judiciary that is divided into appellate and trial courts, administers justice. Indigenous traditions serve as law in some jurisdictions and in some cases. Some legal principles arise from the central authorities in Hama, while some arise from the territorial government.

| |
| − | The economy of the Hamanian Empire generally takes place in the framework of a mixed economy. Avania has a relatively traditional economy. Borea and Hama have a mix of state and private sector. The cities of Ahamadu and Abadulahu have a strong private sector.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Hama is generally classified as an upper-income country. It has a large economic output. It has a large services sector and strong manufacturing sector. Its largest sectors are financial services and tourism. The largest manufacturing sectors are diamond cutting and polishing, arms manufacturing and shipbuilding. Due to the aridity and heat of the south, agriculture is limited to the north. Fruits and vegetables are the primary products. It is a major producer of animal products such as ivory, scales, pelts, and horns. Hama has well-developed water, energy, transport and communications infrastructure.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Avania is a largely low-income region. It has a large agriculture industry. It produces fruits, vegetables, wheat, rice, and maize. It has a large meat and dairy product sector. It is the largest producer of wines in the empire. It also produces a large amount of timber. Borea is a middle-income region. It has a large mining sector. It is a major source of precious metals such as silver and gold, and metals such as nickel, copper, and iron. It has a large fishing sector. It is a major supplier of freshwater salmon and caviar, and of saltwater fish such as hake and mackerel. It has a large metallurgical sector. Abadulahu is a major fishing and logistics. Ahamadu is the biggest port in Hamanian Borea and is a major logistical and administrative center. Generally Ahamadu and Abadulahu have well-developed infrastructure.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The empire has strong gold reserves of a couple hundred billion dollars. It has an advanced banking sector. Ahamadu has been accused of acting as a tax haven. Although the rest of Hama and its territories have adopted policies to increase transparency and tackle tax evasion and money laundering, Ahamadu has low taxes and secretive banking laws. The government has repeatedly ignored calls to tighten that sector. In general, the economy is diverse, with small and medium-sized businesses playing a strong role. In the colonies, energy, transport infrastructure, water, health, and energy are monopolized in state hands. There is an above average level of inequality in Hama, low level of inequality in Avania and a very high level of inequality of Borea, Ahamadu, and Abadulahu. The currency of the entire empire is the dabab.
