Geography

Hallad is mostly desert. In the north it is covered by one landmass, the Halladi Desert. In the south, mainly Erse and Erkshire, are plains filled with collectives and syndicate towns. There are only eight (8) major cities in Hallad, the largest being New Dublin. New Dublin has a population of 14,000,000 people.

Hallad is split into five (5) provinces: the Haradrim; the Halladrim; Tier-Nano; Erse; and Erkshire. The Haradrim also contains an area of land known as the Halladi Northlands, this area is much like th south and an area of the Halladrim known as Halladi Maxentius. Both of which are not featured on a regular Halladi map.

In addition to those provinces, there is the Halladi Island States, which is technically a commonwealth of Hallad. Although, many consider it to be a province of the Federation. That is where most naval bases are located, and it is where most foreign commerce goes through.

A former commonwealth, now part of the Halladrim, is Halladi Maxentius. This area was taken in a war with an agressive fascist nation known as Northern Maxentius. The nation no longer exists.

Modern History

The Socialist Federation started off as a small, economically weak Socialist Democracy with few allies. The United Socialist States of Hallad started with few allies and an unstable balance between the Socialist Party of Hallad (now The True Directorate) and the spiteful Fascist Party of Hallad. After loosing the second annual elections in Hallad, the Fasicst Party, called for all Fascists to revolt. This lead to a seven (7) month civil war, eventually the government's forces prevailed. The First Halladi Civil War devestated the economy.

Soon after this, Hallad joined the First Communist International (the FCI). The Federation is now one of the leading members of that alliance. Commissar John MacDonald of the Commissariat of Diplomacy is now the Commissar of Diplomacy for the FCI. This alliance effected Halladi policy greatly.

The origonal allies of Hallad moved and started a new region (leaving the Halladi founded region of Soviet Utopia). At that time the Halladi Trade Federation was born. It consisted of several, now non-existant nations. It consisted of Saint Sabbat, Scaetland, Arak-Zadar, the Sand Pebbles, and Ubootistan.

Conflict arrose between Hallad and the nation of Shildonia. Shildonia had aided Fascist rebels in the First Halladi Civil War. The Halladi government demanded Shildonia pay Hallad a small fee to help aid reconstruction of New Dublin, the Halladi capital at the time. The conflict ended in a bitter stalemate.

Another small conflict arrose with the former nation of Northern Maxentius. They were an agressive fascist nation which invaded a close-by nation. Hallad, along with a coalition of about six (6) other nations, counter-invaded Northern Maxentius. They defeated the Maxentian forces easilty and took a large portion of land that included their capital. The fascist forces soon surrendered as their government collapsed.

The Halladi Trade Federation soon disbanded, and Hallad moved to several regions before settling in the New Roman Empire (the NRE or TNRE). After this, the Federation became the United Nations Delegate of the New Roman Empire. Only recently was Hallad replaced as UN Delegate by the nation of Heimlichsburg.

Another small war occured, a few years before Hallad joined the New Roman Empire. It was the Second Halladi Civil War, although many do not consider it a war at all. It consisted of an attack by the Fascist Party of Hallad, in which they took the capital, then New Dublin. The Halladi Military took the city back with ease. The Fascist had power in Hallad for one day.

Hallad soon began to have real economic and political power. The Halladi government had united the New Roman Empire under their leadership. The Halladi government set up the Roman Senate, the United Roman Military Task Force (URMTF), and a Roman Diplomatic Corps.

Hallad soon came under new leadership. Mustafa Fenris, the Capitalism Now Party canidate for Premiership, won elections and turned Hallad into the Capitalist Imperium of Hallad. Elections were banned, and the economy boomed - however it did not reach its high under the Capitalists.

Soon nations such as Hattia and The Island States rallied to "bring democracy back to Hallad." However, it is often speculated that they merely wanted to return Socialism to Hallad. Hallad soon allied itself with former its former enemy - Shildonia. In addition to this the Capitalist Imperium enlisted the aid of Grunge-France and Shessara. The Halladi-Hattian Conflict began.

Recently, the Federation has joined the UnAPS, or United Alliance of Progressive States. From that alliance, Hallad has also joined the Union of Socialist Republics, which includes the nations of The Island States, Hattia, Edolia, and Jondera.
