Hazuia

## Background

Hazuia, officially called the Hazuia Union (H.U) is a country in the Southern Reaches region of the map. Founded in 2 IGD, its city Waiso, and the country is the oldest in the world. Most of Hazuia consists of lone tribal communities in rural, undeveloped areas, with only two cities developed enough to interact with international affairs, Yulin City and Waiso. Its GDP is among the most wealthiest in the world, with most of it being stored in the Yulin Stock Exchange and the National Reserve Bank.

## History

Hazuia started off as a singular house on the coast of the Southern Sea, originally supposed to be a casual residence of Alex626, the house was later surrounded with farmland and soon more residential homes, forming the city of Waiso and cementing the country of Hazuia, marking it as the oldest nation and city and the world.

   By the Early Founders Era, Waiso cemented itself as the first capital of Hazuia, although it lacked a central capital, Waiso continued development, expanding its borders to house a growing population and building space. By the end of the era, Waiso lost its status as a capital city, the title being given to the newly founded Yulin City.

Around 6IGD, Yulin City was founded in the cold regions to expand Hazuia territory out west. Originally the city was going to be the grounds of the Imperial Palace, and that the land surrounding it will be incorporated for the Royal Family, but after the discovery of surrounding caves containing a dense amount of ores, a new settlement was to be founded, with it now becoming the new capital of Hazuia.

Yulin City had a rough start, with the settlement being surrounded with an unusual amount of mobs more than intended, making development difficult. By 17IGD, the Imperial Palace was finally completed, and by 18-20IGD the financial district and the Yulin Stock Exchange was founded, making the exchange the first and oldest in the world. Today Yulin is once of the most rapidly developing cities in the world, although being plagued with high crime and a rising civil separatist movement.

## Economy

### Financial and Resource Management

Hazuia is home to the Yulin Stock Exchange, one of the oldest exchanges in the world. Although its currently closed for economic reform, its new economy will consist of valuation of materials and will see the stock paper system being used less due to unpopular global demand. The Hazuian Economy is split up into three branches, The Exchange (YCSE), The Financial Reserve (FRS), and The National Reserve (HNR).

* The Exchange is where the money deposited are used to preform trading actions and either be exported or imported to the country depending on the item or stock traded.
* The Financial Reserve is where most of Hazuia's GDP and valuable metals are stored. Included in this reserve are also historical or powerful items that are stored in an undisclosed location.
* Finally, The National Reserve, also called the Hazuian National Reserve, is where all the materials, such as wood, dirt, stone, etc, are stored. This is also where a small batch of Hazuia's GDP is stored at in an event of an invasion.

The Exchange and Financial branches are currently located in Yulin City, while The Reserve Branch is located in Waiso City. These branches are separated to prevent the economy from collapsing completely in an event of an invasion by a foreign power.

### Farming

Hazuia in In of food production, is mostly undeveloped compared to other countries in the server. Currently, there's only three plots that are dedicated to farmland, two in Waiso, and one in Yulin City, all of them decently sized. In Waiso, the crops grown there are Cherries, and Wheat, although Cherries were essential during the early stages of Hazuia, the last of the original six trees will soon die out in the following days, leaving Wheat as the sole crop grown in the town.

Yulin City's crop production started out with cherries, but just like Waiso, will also soon disappear as well. Currently, Yulin grows Wheat, and other crops such as corn and mint, albeit in small quantities.

As of recently, rice seeds were obtained though an unknown source, but it is planned to replace most crops in the country in the following days.

### Mining Industry

Hazuia has one of the worst mining development out of any of the countries on the server. While most countries had developed auto-mining machinery, Hazuia still uses manual mining that produces resources when needed, causing severe mineral shortages. There are plans in the future to catch up with the rest of the world with a new quarry, however, its location is undetermined. Currently, there's two mines, one in Waiso, another in Yulin City.

## Military

Hazuia barely has an arsenal, lacking modern gunpowder weapons and fortresses. Hazuia only has one fortress, Parris Fort Island, located in Waiso. Despite all of those problems, Hazuia strangely enough has a growing gun culture, with a surplus of guns making way for gun stores to open up, allowing civilians to purchase and own them.

## Culture

Hazuia's architecture is based of the traditional Japanese style. Although it tries not to break out of character with its style, the only exceptions of this style is the Yulin Stock Exchange, which is built of the Classical Revival architecture.

## Government

*This is a brief description of Hazuia's government and state management, for an expansion on this topic, check out The States of Hazuia or Hazuia's Government.*

Hazuia is typically split up into various states, with each having a governor with the exception of New Ukallika, which is ruled by the High Chief. Hazuia's government is described as an autocracy, despite governors and nobles still having some kind of power and say.
