Geography
With the landscape largely being made up of desert, the north of 'Halladi is covered by one contiguous landmass, the Halladi Desert. The south, however — mainly Erse and Erkshire — are classified as collective-and-syndicate-town-filled plains. A metropolis of fourteen million in population, New Dublin, is the largest of eight cities considered major.
Five province divisions exist throughout the land, named seperately as: the Haradrim; the Halladrim; Tier-Nano; Erse; and Erkshire. Moreover, The Haradrim contains an area of land known as the Halladi Northlands, resembling closely the south and Halladi Maxentius, an area of the Halladrim. Both of which are not customarily featured on the Halladi map. Halladi Maxentius, A former commonwealth, and now part of the Halladrim, was seized as a result of a previouis state of belligerency with an aggressive, and no longer existent fascist nation known as Northern Maxentius.
The Halladi Desert The largest land form in Hallad. It streches from the northern provinces of the Halladrim and Ryydra to the northern one hundred (100) kilometres into Erse. It is actually a highly populated area and most land is farmed and used to mine oil. The Halladi Federation uses highly advanced farming equipment based on Israels own methods and equipment.
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 allegedly 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.
