The Great Thalassocracy of Upper Harmania is a diverse nation located in the region of Thegye. Only around 1.55 million Harmani live in the small land that only encompasses 14000 square kilometres of Thegyan land. Its newly instated (7 years) military dictatorship, its Lord Umha, the son of the previously overthrown Khan, only allows high ranking military officials to have any kind of say in the governance of the country, but all decisions are solely up to the Lord. He is antiroyalist but only keeps his title of Umha Khan so he stays close to his monarchist allies. It incorporates 8 states and holds roughly 100 islands making up the small archipelago. There are currently no border disputes with other nations, but a hopeful "Greater Harmanian Empire" is a grand plan that includes the annexation and or incorporation of surrounding lands.

Etymology

The name of first part of our nations name comes from fact that the main people group of our nation, the Hudoaq, come from the highlands of the island they originated on. They second part, Harmania, comes from three words from the Hudoaq and two other largest cultures and peoples. The first part of the word comes from the Hudoaq word Harmi, meaning people. The next, is from the Blifunun word Mäni, meaning Isles, and finally, the Bluthenplata word, Niai meaning Isle. All together it means, People of the Isles.

The standard demonym of the Upper Harmania is Harmani, but many identify as their own cultures, such as Hudoaqi, Blifik, or Bluthenclud.

History

The history of Upper Harmania is rich and long, but I cannot delve too deep in this dispatch. We shall start in the year 87 CE. This is when the first tribes banded together and formed loose and disjointed states, comparable to Ancient Greece. This is seen as the first golden age of Harmania as the people were rich and equal and disease was at a minimum, no wars were commenced as, although many different cultures existed, all lived in reliance and harmony. After 111 years of these small nations, ancient cultures of Harmania thrived, the trading Empire of Thrulqha, the Dual Republics of Oqa and Kleema, a nation that existed all the way to the invasion of Esaroy and beyond till 552 CE. Speaking of Esaroy, they are who we shall talk about next. The Empire of Esaroy was founded in the year 259 CE out of the multiple states that make up the Esaroy culture. They rapidly conquered the peninsula, and after a while took the Islands that make up Harmania from the Blikif, Thrulqha, Oqa and Kleema and Achei. For a period of around 300 years they tyrannically ruled over the isles, bringing a strange aura of suffering and death among the people. They bought in a plague that killed innumerable amounts of people and butchered just as many. But the Achei managed to gain independence from the cruelty of the Esaroy and they helped stage many rebellions. It was only on the seventh try that they managed to finally shake the Esaroy of the isles, and thus many other groups rebelled from them, thus ending the tyranny, once and for all.

After this, for a brief period of one year the Blikif ruled over the lands, rapidly recovering from the Esaroy reign and ushering in the Second Golden Age of Harmania. It unfortunately only lasted 6 years, the golden age that is, as after a year of Blikif rule we see the first evidence of the Hudoaq peoples. The Huoaq are said to have arrived from a far off land described as just as mountainous as Harmania, and they roamed in great hoardes over the land, before setting sail away to find new lands. After they reached the isles they began a 2 year long campaign to seize control of the isles. After taking control the settled in the Uthaka River Valley and established a new city there. It has changed its name many times over the long history, normally adapting every time a new Khan came into power. Its first name, however, was Zhikhanitan, under the great Zhimi Khan I. He was the best ruler the nation ever had, continuing the golden age for 3 more years after his campaign before his assassination by a Blikif man named Astrad Foslund, or as he would later be known, Astra Khan. He is notable for being the only non-Hudoaq Khan ever to rule Harmania but was quickly deposed and the son of Zhimi was placed at the helm of the nation. Thus began a three quarters of a millennia rule of the Khans, handing down through the Zhimi line all the way to Ukilen Khan VI, who was deposed by his son, Umha Khan, in the First Harmanian Civil War. Umha is a brutal man who kills any who oppose him. He rules the country under a fierce Military Dictatorship and has all his highest staff as part of the Militias that put him in power. But unrest continues to grow, and those who he thought were loyal to him, are now questioning their allegiance.
