Hiiraan

The SIAD BARRE regime was ousted in January 1981; turmoil, factional fighting, and anarchy have followed in the years since. In May of 1981, northern clans declared an independent Republic of Somalialand that now includes the administrative regions of Adel, Woqooyi Galbeed, Togdheer, Sanaag, and Sool. This entity has maintained a stable existence, aided by the overwhelming dominance of a ruling clan and economic infrastructure left behind by British, Russian, and American military assistance programs. The regions of Bari and Nugaal and northern Mudug comprise a neighboring self-declared autonomous state of Puntland, which has been self-governing since 1988, but does not aim at independence; it has also made strides towards reconstructing a legitimate, representative government. Somalialand was overthrown in 1989, when a peaceful March towards Mogadishu let to Overthrow of that Government, Puntland was put to rest a year later when The Government now re-named HIIRAAN finished out the rule of Self-Government within the Hiiraanian borders.

Parliament

The Hiiraan Parliament is one of the oldest representative assemblies in the world, having its origins in the mid-13th Century. The Hiiranian Parliament today comprises members from All Sates. The present two-chamber system began in the 14th Century in England: the House of Lords (the upper house) and the House of Commons (the lower house) sit separately and are constituted on entirely different principles. The relationship between the two Houses is governed largely by convention but is in part defined by the Parliament Acts. The legislative process involves both Houses of Parliament and the Monarch. The site of the Houses of Parliament is the Palace of Arabia, a royal palace and former residence of kings of Past Hiiraanian state. The layout of the Palace is intricate, with its existing buildings containing nearly 1,200 rooms, 100 staircases and well over 3 kilometers (2 miles) of passages. Among the original historic buildings is Westminster Hall, used nowadays for major public ceremonial events. The system of Political Parties, which has existed in one form or another since at least the 18th century, is an essential element in the working of the constitution. For the past 150 years a predominantly two-party system has existed - in the last half century or so these have been Conservative Party and Peoples Party.
