Hariko (Harikén: 하리코, ), officially the Unitary Republic of Hariko (Harikén: 國으共和統一릴러), is a unitary parliamentary republic in the West Pacific. It is bordered to the north by the The initohsine, to the west by Yy4u, and to the south and east by the Sea of Gentosha. It is the largest nation on the Initohsine peninsula, covering 75 674 km˛, comparable to the size of Panamá. Due to recent industrialisation and a transition to a services economy, the nation has a population of 38.4 million people, and experiences high population density, in excess of 500/km˛. The nation has the largest Hariphone population (28 million) in the world, as well as the most speakers of a Gentoshan language. Hariko is composed of the Harikene mainland, divided into 12 prefectures and the Gentosha Islands off the south coast.

Hariko is a nation composed of 62% ethnic Harikenes, 31% Harikene Sealandians, and 7% immigrants. The reason for such diversity is because Hariko's territories used to be part of: the Empire of Initohsi, the City-State of Litvaeyang, and Little sealand. Initohsi occupied most of the country, as well as Takyando, except for the far west, the city of Litvaeyang, which retained its sovereignty, and the southeast coast of Hariko, which was a colony of Little Sealand. The Gentosha Islands were unclaimed land inhabited by Beilschmidt tribes. Ethnic Harikenes were an unorganised society living on the Initohsine peninsula, and became subjects of the Empire during its expansion in the 1380s. They experienced varying degrees of autonomy during imperial rule, and became an independent state during the revolts-turned-civil-war in the 1860s, when the Empire was experiencing internal decay, strife, and famine. Post-independence, the nation has largely been peaceful, and experienced protracted depression in the early years. Around the turn of the century, market liberalisation led to a massive growth in GDP, which created an industry bubble that burst and plunged the nation into recession.

Since then, the country has gradually increased in economic strength through a mixed economy directed by both capitalist and market socialist forces. Today, the nation is a highly developed country with a very high Human Development Index quotient, a robust welfare state, a highly urbanised population, and deep economic ties to Sealandic nations. Hariko is a member of the Initohsine Defense Organisation, the World Assembly, the Sealandic Commonwealth, the Teikei alliance and the Hariko-Little Sealand Free Trade Agreement. Due to its outward view of the world and relative lack of attention to culturally related neighbors, it is often called “The Black Sheep of Initohsi.” Resentment among those countries towards Hariko usually has to do with its indifference towards them, and that the economic boom called the Harikene Miracle never reached the poorer, underdeveloped Initohsian countries.

Etymology


Hariko and its demonyms are derived from the Old Harikén root “Hari,” an archaic endonym, and the locative suffix “-ko. However, the “-ko” is no longer a suffix in the name due to years of casual use.
The standard way to refer to a citizen of Hariko is as a Harikene.

The most common exonym from antiquity was “Nommy”, the demonym for Harikenes from the SWolf language family. A rough translation of “Nommy” is “tasty snack.” “Nommy” came into use after being derived from the Initohsine province of Pacia Nommium. “Nommy” is now generally considered offensive outside historical contexts.

History


Hariko's territories used to be part of: the Empire of Initohsi, the Predatory Nature of Yy4u, the City-State of Litvaeyang, and the Food Loving Federation of Little Sealand. Initohsi occupied most of the country, as well as Takyando, except for the far west, which was a part of Yy4u, the city of Litvaeyang, which retained its sovereignty, and the southeast coast of Hariko, which was territory of Little Sealand. The Gentosha Islands were unclaimed land inhabited by Beilschmidt tribes.

Ethnic Harikenes were an unorganised society living on the Initohsine peninsula, and became subjects of the Empire during its expansion in the 1380s under Emperor Magradesh. The territory of Hariko that was under imperial rule was part of the province of Pacia Nommium. In 1524, Pacia Nommium was partitioned into Pacia Interior and Nommia Exterior. Nommia Exterior was given more autonomy than Pacia Nommium, although such autonomy varied based on how successful the province was, leading it to occasionally be reined in by the central government. In general, Harikenes fared better off than other peoples of the empire, mainly due to the robust cocoa trade with the Sealandians. After the 1694 uprisings that placed the Tulümqi dynasty into power, Nommia Exterior was dissolved and replaced by Pacia Harius, which redrew the boundaries to more closely match the borders of the ethnic groups of the area. During the early 1800s, the north of the empire was captured by Yy4u, including the capital of Tulüm Noh. Fleeing ethnic cleansing by nom-nom-ification, the survivors moved to Pugeo, and the rump empire's capital was moved there. After driving out Yy4u from the far west and the Sealandians from the southeast, Pacia Harius was expanded to include those areas. In the late 1850s, poor agricultural practices and government mismanagement led to the Great Famine, which led to unrest and then full rebellion by 1861. The Tulümqi dynasty collapsed by 1863 and the borders of the newly independent countries mostly followed the old provincial borders.

On 21 June 1863, the Republic of Hariko was proclaimed with the ratification of the Articles of Constitution, with the help of a SWolf peacekeeping force. In the Articles of Constitution and through treaties with the other neighboring nations, Hariko was recognised as the successor state to the Empire of Initohsi. With funding by Sealandian business interests, infrastructure was quickly built, and at par with the rest of the world. But for other industries without the crutch of foreign investments, progress stalled and many companies were nationalised so they could not go out of business. The economy went into a protracted recession, with the exception of Sealándu Prefecture. Market liberalisation policies went into effect to breathe new life into the economy, and for a period of twenty years from 1885 to 1915, the economy grew to that of a developed nation. The reduced demand that resulted from World War One effectively killed the economic boom and the economy tumbled. After hitting a second low in the Great Depression, the economy has gradually grown, consistently but not linearly. Hariko began to align more closely with the pop culture of its Asian neighbors in the mid-1960s, and every day life became less socialist as the government began privatising industries.

As of 1978, the economy rapidly grew and transformed Hariko into a developed nation, and it is still growing thanks to new policies called Jijyeonjihyuhwacheongdessú「市場自由化重데쑤」, or “market re-liberalisation.” Terrorist attacks have become a pressing issue in the region, especially after the 2015 nuclear terrorist attack on the neighboring Federated States of the Initohsine and threats of violence from the extremist group Angels of Violet. Hariko ascended to the Sealandic Commonwealth and became a founding member of the Teikei in March 2015.

Geography


The country is surrounded by mountainous forest along its border, and becomes hilly rainforest along the western border. The east of the country is a big rolling plain with rivers running from the foothills towards the border of the country. Taega Prefecture features the lowest point in the country, Rejappyong Valley, at -12 meters. The rainforest of the country covers the three westernmost prefectures of the country, and is a source of Darkesian cacao. In the far southwest, there is the Namíya Plateau, which is the flattest region of the west. The Initohsine Cordillera runs along the northern and eastern borders, and features the highest peak in the country, Mons Ariketu, which is 4 836 meters high. From space, the country appears to have a handful of lakes, but on the surface, one can see that many more small ponds cover the landscape and feed into the major rivers.

There is an intraplate thrust fault that runs along the Cordillera, and results in occasional earthquakes that rock the eastern prefectures. Volcanic activity in Hariko would happen in the dormant volcano Mons Takyando.

The Gentoshan Islands are separated from the mainland by the Toumi Strait. The entire archipelago is made up of eleven islands, seven of which are held by Hariko and four by the Federation. The islands are very low, no more than two meters above sea level in the highest places, and are vegetated by a thin forest.

The western prefectures fall under Köppen climate classification Af, which is a tropical rainforest climate. Southeastern winds from the Sea of Gentosha flow over those prefectures and across the border into the SWolvian rainforests. The east of the country has a tropical savanna climate, which corresponds to Köppen climate classification Aw. The Gentoshan Islands also fall under Aw, as they are too far east to receive precipitation from the Sea of Gentosha.

Demographics


Hariko is primarily divided by ethnicity. Harikene identity is founded in culture over bloodlines, so while the populace can be demographically divided along racial lines, both ethnic Harikenes and Harikene Sealandians are considered to belong to the Harikene nation. Harikene identity is ethnicity-based, with the two main groups considered integral to the nation, to the exclusion of immigrants. Non-Harikenes are defined as anyone not of Hari and/or Harikene Sealandic descent. The two ethnic groups are seen as distinct but component subgroups of the Harikene nation.

Ethnic Harikenes compose 60% of the population, 31% are Harikene Sealandians, and 9% are immigrants or smaller ethnic backgrounds, such as Nomíya. People of Sealandic descent typically live in Sealándu Prefecture in the southeast and make up 63% of the population there. Harikenes make up 29% of the population of Sealándu Prefecture. Harikenes primarily live in the central and eastern plains, as well as in the forested foothills along the border with the Federated States of the Initohsine. The rain forests of the mountainous southwest along the Hari-Yy4u border are lightly populated, with most of the residents being indigenous peoples and SWolves. SWolves are the majority ethnic group in the far west prefecture of Namíya.

Population
Hariko has a population of 38 million. People under 18 make up 24% of the population, 18 to 65 year olds make up 69%, and 65+ year olds account for 7%. Four point seven of Hariko are immigrants or expatriots, and the majority of those people are citizens of Sealandic countries.

Language
The official languages at the national level are Harikén and English.

Harikén is a West Pacific language, and is the largest language in its family, South Gentoshan. It is a synthetic language with a simple declension system compared to other related languages. Harikén is highly synthetic and has a high syllable to morpheme and suffix-to-word ratio, which is amplified by the fusional nature of its conjugations and agglutinative tendencies with adjectives and suffixes. The language is genderless, extremely regular, and conjugation is based on tense and honorifics rather than pronoun. Number, politeness, time and activity are fused into the conjugation of verbs, and location, inflected nominative-accusative case particles, modifying suffixes, possession, adverbs and informally person are agglutinated to the end of a conjugated verb. Subjects and objects are agglutinative, with adjectives, possession, number, and case particles suffixed to the root word, with number needing to agree with a conjugated verb. Adpositions, conjunctions, classifiers, pronouns, proper nouns, and interjections are invariant. In formal speech, there are always the subject, object, and verb, but in informal speech, the subject may be dropped if it is a pronoun and can be represented with an affix representing person. Pronouns are used, however, casual speech may replace the second person with a noun representing a person, while still implying the second person. Old Takyandese was originally fusional, but Middle Harikén became more isolating and changed many fused inflections into agglutinative suffixes or separate morphemes. Modern Harikén is returning to a fusional state, but while its sister languages move towards polyfusion, Harikén appears to retain agglutination in most words, excepting the increasingly fusional and complex conjugations.

Most of the language is based on indigenous words, but higher level vocabulary and slang are often derived from English. The standard sentence format is Subject Object Verb, with adjectives following the modified word and adverbs suffixed. Harikén is written in Hangul with CJK punctuation, using hanja for most nouns and verb stems, names and for disambiguation and abbreviation. Foreign words that cannot be rendered in Hangul are written with fullspace Latin characters. It can written in the Latin script using acute accents (á) and diaereses (ä) as diacritics. Acute accents are to signify stress, especially in compound words. Diaereses are used to separate two vowels into separate syllables.

Harikene English is a dialect of English directly influenced by Sealandic English and Harikén. While completely intelligible with other varieties of English, the local dialect has a few distinctive features that place it apart from other forms of English. Harikene English can trace its roots to British English, but after hundreds of years of intercommunication with Harikenes, pronunciation has become more neutral and the number of phonemes have shrunk to roughly around the amount Harikén has, which makes it sound similar to General American English, excluding rhoticism and a distinct “đ” sound, and less stress on “z” so that they sound like “s”.

Religion

Hariko is a fairly religious nation, with 60% of people adhering to a religion. Fifty-one percent of people follow Christianity, which was imported by the Sealandians, and of those, 49% are Catholics and 22% are Protestant. Nine percent of people are members of Cacaoism.

There is a separation of church and state, so no religions are recognised nor banned at the government level.

Government


Hariko is a democratically elected parliamentary republic with a unitary government. The Government of Hariko is separated into two branches, the Parliament, which manages executive and legislative control, and the High Court which manages judicial control and oversees the network of courts in the nation. The leader of the country is the prime minister, who is both head of government and head of state, making the position more like a president. Unlike a president, the prime minister answers to the Parliament and the Parliament is accountable for the prime minister's actions. The second in command is the Foreign Minister, and is next in line for succession should the prime minister unexpectedly resign, die, or in general becomes unfit to rule. The Foreign Minister would then continue the rest of the prime minister's term until it ends or an emergency midterm plebescite, whichever comes first.

The Parliament is bicameral and made up of the Congress of the Prefectures, which is the upper house, and the Chamber of the People is the lower house. The Congress of the Prefectures have 26 representatives, and the Chamber of the People have 300. Representatives are elected for three years, and Ministers are elected for six years. Both ministers and representatives are elected through open list mixed member proportional voting, and each ballot is transferable in order to reduce the amount of wasted votes. However, a person is only able to become a minister if they are a member of the Parliament. Typically, parties choose their candidates for ministers from the Congress of the Prefectures.

Hariko has four major parties, the Harikene Greens (the ruling party), the center left Pacific Party, and the libertarian right Liberty Coalition (opposition parties) which is made up of the Constitution Party and the Conservative Party. Smaller parties include the Royalist party, the Namíyan Independence Party, and Takyusen Imperial Party.

Hariko's government is based in the rule of law, and the law of the land is the Articles of Constitution.

Fiscal and monetary policy is managed by the Teikei Central Bank and executed by lu Banquí eu Harieko.

Foreign Relations and Military

Hariko officially has consulates in nations endorsed by the Republic, all Sealandic countries, Yy4u, the Teikei nations, the Dominion of Talpoai, the Chibi Loving State of Ilegaki and the Cattish Commonwealth. In nations without Harikene consulates, consular services are provided at Darkesian and West Pacific embassies.

Hariko and Little Sealand have close diplomatic relations, and Hariko considers Little Sealand one of its most important allies. They have a Special Relationship due to centuries of good relations. The two nations are both members of the Teikei and the Sealandic Commonwealth, have an intertwined history, experienced extensive cross-cultural exchange as well as having large expatriot populations and citizens from the other nation's ethnic group. In a Harikene census in 2015, 87% of ethnic Harikenes and 94% of Sealandic Harikenes view Little Sealand positively.

Visas are not required for West and East Pacific nations, and endorsed nations have a Schengen-style travel agreement. All dictatorships, police states, and iron fist nations are blacklisted from Hariko except to gain refugee status.

The country has no standing military due to its dissolution after the January Coup and following invasion of Little Sealand of 2015. Hariko still retains a coast guard that acts as a paramilitary force, and leases its former boot camps to the World Assembly for it to train peacekeepers. It shares military information with other members of the Initohsine Defence Organisation and the Teikei Armed Forces, and they collectively have a military against outside nations, thereby preventing regional wars and invasions without the consent of other members.

The powerhouse Harikene economy, worth 306 trillion teketas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 117 095 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sixty-seven point three percent of the workforce is employed in the public sector, mainly in welfare, the educational system, healthcare, environmental services, and mass transit. Private companies employ 32.7% of the workforce.

Hariko is party to free trade agreements with Little Sealand and its vassal states, and the Teikei.

Culture


Much like most other Asian nations, Hariko has become Westernised, but has managed to retain its traditional culture.

Traditional Harikene dress is loose and flowing, in order to cope with the tropical climate. Colors are often light, with pastel colors and earth tones. Women's dress is the tusuke, or variations of it. A tusuke is a linen tunic with loose arm sleeves and is typically decorated with lace and pearls. It looks similar to an áo dŕi. Tusuken are often paired with short silk blazers, light colored cotton shorts, and terompah-like clogs. Men's dress is a Doric-style chiton called an era with a loose linen sash worn on the exposed shoulder. Cotton shorts were also worn by men. Sandals were the usual men's footwear.

Harikene cuisine is primarily seafood, vegetables, fruits, and bread. Along the coast, there is much more emphasis on seafood and aquatic plants than inland. Coastal cuisine is composed of vegetable soups with fish and tofu, vegetable wraps, rice noodles with fish and citrus fruits, and even food with chili flakes on it. Food from inland is typically not as spicy or salty, and is usually more tangy. Breakfast foods and snacks are much sweeter than their coastal counterparts from the use of fruits and syrups. Inland cuisine has various kinds of sandwiches, rice dishes, curries, and dried fruit dishes.

While not native to Hariko, chocolate has quickly become a part of Harikene cooking. Chocolate is served for dessert in candy bars or pastes, as tchocolatl with mild foods, and as a topping and condiment for snacks and salty foods. Dark chocolates are preferred for evening meals while milk chocolate is eaten as a condiment or during daytime meals. White chocolate is often given to children with their yogurt.

Architecture in Hariko
Harikene architecture falls under two major categories, traditional and modern. Traditional architecture focuses on pagodas and extravagant eves with clay roofing tiles in earthy colors. Walls are made of dark, treated wood, and windows would be substituted with thin mesh or wooden bars. Lots of emphasis is put on natural light, and skylights are common. Mansions constructed in this style often have an oriental garden in the central courtyard, and are surrounded by a small moat with native fish. Traditional architecture is more prevalent in rural areas.

Modern architecture is more common in the cities, with large buildings made in the style of neo-futurism and neomodernism in response to the Brutalist architecture promoted by the Socialist governments from 1950-1975. Smaller ones and residential buildings are more varied and eclectic, but still follow the clean, minimalist look, incorporating decoration into function. Homes are often made with local and traditional materials, and cantilevered balconies are popular. Green design is also used to save money and energy.

Most Harikene cities have strict building codes that include aesthetic in order to make neighborhoods appealing and comfortable. Squares are common; with the large ones surrounding large structures. Squares often have fountains that are open to public use, and by an 1874 statute may be used for drinking water and therefore must be kept clean. Buildings are usually limited to around five stories in height and are close together to make neighborhoods compact and population density high.

Most roads in the cities are cozy alleyways that branch off from small, one lane streets. Major thoroughfares separate neighborhoods, and are lined with parks to create a buffer zone between them and the neighborhoods. Harikene cities are designed to be very walkable, with most alleys and streets designed specifically for bicyclists and pedestrians. Neighborhoods typically have their own subway stations in the squares, and trees and other plants are planted in most places to make the area feel less like an urban jungle, and more scenic.

Aside from the business districts, malls are uncommon and are substituted with high streets lined with boutiques and restaurants. High streets are similar to squares because businesses are encouraged to occupy some of the space outside their building to make the street more lively, and as a result, farmers markets and outdoor café seating are commonplace.

Harikenes pride themselves on their parks, and their cities are filled with them, from oriental gardens next to the neighborhood square to large, open parks that feature community centers, playgrounds, tennis courts, and community ponds where people go to swim and socialise. Beachfront neighborhoods are open to the public, and often feature restaurants, hotels, and fountains.

Harikene literature was traditionally poems and historical fiction, but today slice-of-life, science fiction, and fantasy are popular genres among readers. Harikene visual novels have evolved into modern day graphic novels, with distinctive manipulation of greyscale, negative space, and kaomoji-like facial expressions.

Most TV shows and movies are imported from English-speaking countries, as most of the population is competent in English. English dubbed anime, cartoons, and BBC programs are popular in Hariko. Netflix and other online streaming services have comfortably overtaken television there. K-pop and J-pop are well liked by the public, and smooth jazz is enjoyed by the older generations.

Most sports played in Hariko were imported from other countries. The most popular sports in Hariko in order are tennis, surfing, and martial arts. Traditional Harikene sports include spear fencing and hoop flinging.

Harikene cultural exports include its graphic novels, chocolate dishes, and firecracker dancing. Harikén-language entertainment on YouTube is growing fast, and is outpacing traditional television.

Hariko uses a shallowly recessed Schuko socket at 230 V, with child-proof shutters. Schuko plugs are used for devices needed to be grounded, while Europlugs are used for ungrounded equipment. CEE industrial plugs are used for high power connections. Car sockets use USB-A.

Utilities such as water, electricity, and internet are carried underground in the event of an earthquake, for public safety. Water mains are kept deepest, so that broken mains do not burst through the ground or damage electrical, telephone, or fiber optic lines.

Cellular networks use GSM for 3G networks, and LTE for 4G networks. CDMA is not used in the country because of its limited use outside the country and because of too much corporate control on the CDMA standard. The standard format for phone numbers in Hariko is +84 aa bbb cccc, so the phone number for the town hall of Jjochimoch, Sealándu Prefecture is +84 03 301 0001, or simply 3-301-0001 inside Hariko.

Radio channels are separated by 9kHz for AM and 100 kHz for FM. Therefore FM stations end in both odd and even numbers, and can fit more radio stations in its bandwidth. WiFi networks for the most part have moved from 802.11n to 802.11ac and 802.11ad is starting to become more common.

Transport
Hariko has a national freeway system compliant with WA standards that connects the cities in the east, and several in the west. Freeways are typically built along bullet train tracks, with the train tracks serving the purpose of a median separating traffic directions. A often noted quality of the freeways is that they are painted black on white concrete as opposed to white on black asphalt, which helps the country meet WA standards for climate change management.

Harikene motor vehicles are universally powered by electric motors, with small vehicles like city cars using lithium-ion batteries and larger ones like sedans, vans, and trucks use fuel cells. All cars on the Harikene mainland are left hand drive. Hariko is compliant with the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, and its road signs follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

With Sealandian investment, the country has built a still-expanding maglev bullet train network to replace dirtier air travel domestically. The network currently serves all twelve prefectures and Harikosa, and has an international line that branches off to Litvaeyang, Takyando; Euwodeo, Federated States of the Initohsine; and Tulüm Noh, Yy4u. Stations are usually shared with local public transit services, like subways and trams. Called Harirail, it is a publicly owned business with 30% of stocks each owned by the Harikene government's Department of Transport and Sealand Express, Inc.

The lack of airlines in Hariko means that the only major airport in Hariko is Harikosa International Airport. Most airlines that sell tickets to Hariko often bundle it with a Harirail ticket for people to transfer onto a train for their destinations.

Shipping usually follows the River Pusagi and its tributaries, which penetrate into 60% of the countryside. To prevent invasive aquatic species, ships must be quarantined and inspected before entering freshwater waterways. For this reason, ships usually stay in freshwater or saltwater, and loaded onto ships on the other side. This has led to the rise of shipping cities built on polders, segregating foreign ships from domestic ones.

Energy
Due to Hariko's environmentalist politics, fossil fuels are hard to come by, and most machines and devices are powered by electricity. The Harikene mainland gets its energy exclusively from renewable resources, such as from offshore windfarms, wave energy converters, and solar panels. Hariko is fuel independent, and is a regional exporter of electricity.
