Geography
With the landscape largely being made up of desert, the north and centre of Hallad is covered by one contiguous landmass, the Halladi Desert. The south, however — mainly Erse and Erkshire — are classified as grassland type plains, which are filled with Collectives and Industry-Communes. 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. The Haradrim contains an area of land known as the Halladi Northlands, resembling the southern climate. Halladi Maxentius, an area of the Halladrim, is a former commonwealth and was seized as a result of the previous governments agression toward Hallad. The fascist nation known as Northern Maxentius was assimilated into Hallad after a regional referendum, in which the people voted for integration.
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. The Halladi Federation uses highly advanced farming equipment based on Israeli methods and equipment. Also, the Halladi Desert is filled with oil wells, which are well miantained in Hallad. The Halladi Oil Corporation employs many of the desert dwellers in the production of oil. It is also rumoured that there are many secret government bases and bunkers scattered throughout the desert.
New Hallad
New Hallad is the off-world Halladi colony, located directly next to New Haven. New Hallad is an agrarian society, lead by Comrade Govenor Aiden O'Connell. It was origonally colonized by 50,000 Halladi colonists, which were brough to New Haven with the help of the New Haven Socialist Republic. They have several hundred kilometres of land in which they have formed collectives, and a few factories.
The colony is defended by a militia of ten thousand men and women. They have been equipt with HAP-1 pistols and HAR-1A rifles, and even have several vehicles. However, they are under the protection of the New Haven Socialist Republic and the Hermes Alliance. Hallad has done little with their colony, however there has been talk of more expansion in space, and possibly the urbanization and industrialization of New Hallad.
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. Under the leadership of the unifier of the Halladi Federation, John Connolly, Hallad was able to recover.
Soon after this, Hallad joined the First Communist International . The Federation is now one of the leading members of that alliance. Commissar John MacDonald, of the Commissariat of Diplomacy, is now the Halladi emmissary to the First Communist Internationale. 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. This was a time of great prosperity in Hallad. Hallad began to become a leader amoung other Communist and Socialist nations.
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. In more modern days, however, the Shildonians and Halladis are making great strives to normalize relations.
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. There were several uneasy years of transition, as Maxentius made their move to Socialism. Eventually it became time for the Independance Referendum to be held. The People of Maxentius, seeing the prosperity brought to them under Socialism, voted for full assimilation in the Halladi Federation rather than independace or continuing to be a Commonwealth.
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. This is known as the Second Civil War, but many view it was a small coup with no real influence in Hallad.
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. These institutions would last for several months before the Roman Government collapsed.
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 Socialists. Fenris became "President-For-Life" and began ruling Hallad with an iron fist.
Soon nations such as Hattia and New Haven rallied to "bring democracy back to Hallad." However, it is often speculated that they merely wanted to return Socialism to Hallad. The Federation 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. James Cross was voted Premier of Hallad after Fenris's government collapsed due to war with Shessara and a Socialist uprising, lead by the Federated Directorate.
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 New Haven, Hattia, Edolia, and Jondera. After the UnAPS disbanded, the Roman Government collapsed.
The USR disbanded only recently disbanded, and Hallad became a member of the Concordat. However, after division with the Concordat, Hallad sided with their comrades in New Haven and Bryn Shander. The Workers' State is now a member of the Hermes Alliance. This was seen as a very good thing, with recent developments. New Haven sold a space fleet to Hallad recently, and there are talks of Hallad moving off of earth.
