==History==
===Pre-Independency===
The Harinian people originate in south Iran. The region was normally offered great amounts of autonomy by the Iranian occupiers, as the Harinian culture has closer ties to Afghan and Indian cultures than the Iranian culture. Alexanders occupation was received as any other, and the successor Greek satrapies followed through with the promises of their predecessors on respecting Harinian autonomy. However, the Parthian conquest of Persia brought with them great amounts of persecution of the Harinian people, eventually leading to a full-scale revolt.
===Revolution and Overthrowing the Parthians===
In the early 3rd Century, Harinian citizens across the Parthian Empire revolted. A notable landowner known as Hadumnus I organized the first organized army corps in the south of the Parthian Empire, Along the persian gulf coast.</span>
 In the Battle of Hecatompyos, Hadumnus and his army defeated the Parthian King, and took his head. The Parthian Empire fell in disarray shortly after, allowing Harinian armies to occupy large portions of their empire. By 226AD, the Parthian Empire was no more, replaced by the Harinian Empire.
===Harinian-Roman Wars===

====Second-Harino Roman War====

Even though the Harinians faced Palmyrean and Roman opposition, they came ontop, acquiring even more lands in the Mesopotamia region.
===Post-Roman Era and Arab Conquest===
After the Harinians solidified their control over Mesopotamia, a long period of peace ensued. Nicknamed Eastern Rome by many, Harinia grew economically achieving commercial activity compared to that of the Romans.
