Hiu

The Republic of Hiu (Chinese: 宇国共和国) is a micronation located between the Kaishe river (known by the Spanish as Corredó), which stretches through the Darien Province. It's capital is Honpa, and it's official language is Chinese.

## History

The first sighting of Chinese people in the Corredo river was the fleeing of many Imperial Chinese to other lands. A group of 30 people were supposed to visit Los Angeles, but they all have been stranded on the village of Arretí, in the nation of Colombia, in 1894.

When the nation of Panama had been independent, the visit of the president Guerrero to the village of Arretí was then greeted by the Chinese. Since then, the government tried to upgrade the town, and it succeded. The Spanish people were soon fleeing to the capital due to the Chinese people being the leading race in the city. The city was known by them as "Hanbao", which is now known as Honpa.

In World War II, a number of Chinese people who were supporting the Communist Party after the victory of the Kuomintang fleed to the American continent, and 600 of them accidentally landed on the rivers of the Choco. The population of Arreti, however, went spreading like wildfire, until in 1948, a man named Jiang Ming had been founding a Chinese organization in the country, called the Chinese New World Dragons. That organization led to the progress of the city of Arretí and the teaching of Chinese to the Spanish people.

A native from the city of Metetí, which was supporting the organization, called Liankei Bo, known by others as Kei Bo, created an ideology called the "Hiunese Ideology", which had been conforming the Chinese people living on Panama to build a nation made specifically for them. The nation was called "Hiu", the Chinese word for "world", because he wanted a name that would be fitting with the "New World", which is the continent of America.

In September 5th, 1950, after Kei Bo had been crowned General of the nation by the mayor of Arreti, Lung Macias, the nation of Hiu had been celebrating the declaration of independence at the Shang family's house. It was attended by 1,500 people, and was the start of the Hiunese Military Band and the Armed Forces.

In 1954, the organization that led to the founding of Hiu had been transforming into the Hiu Socialist Party.

## Culture

Hiu's culture is predominantly Chinese. It's official religion is the beliefs of Buddhism as stated at the law of 1989, and some of their people celebrate Chinese beliefs. The theatre on Hiu has experiencing a big expansion in the 2000's, because the seminaries had been designing costumes to not let the theatrical cultures die.

One of Hiu's delicacies is the wang you, which is a type of meat which is served with rice, leaves, and honey. The wang you is also served at fast food chains.

Hiu's national sport is Cuju, which is an ancient type of Chinese sport which was later adopted by the Hiunese people in the 1980's. The national league that has been played there is the Nanming National League, which is sponsored by the Nanming Treasury.

## Education

Hiu's proper alphabetization rate is 78%. Most of the people had been not signing up in schools due to the prices rising every year, and also because of the lack of a stable route to the school, since most of them are built in mountains or in hills.

The National Department of Education is the national education service in the nation of Hiu. It has been founded in 1972 by the teacher Gaxue Nangping, which had been educating people in remote areas in Ganggie and Ninghui.

Hiu's most prestigious college by number of students and well-kept tradition is the Xia'er High School, founded in 1956.

## Symbols

Hiu's flag has been confected by Hi Wing in 1956, when the flag of Hiu was similar to the flag of the Austrian Empire, and to avoid confusion for the future generations, the national flag had to be fixed a bit. It is a banner of blue and yellow, with a hexagon that inverts the color position superimposed into it along with a curved line with five horizontal squares. Over the banner, there are four dots, symbolizing the four cardinal points.

Hiu's anthem is Defenders of the New World.
