Hodek, known officially as the Republic of Hodek (Hodeki: Fegedneny Hodekluya, Fegedneny Hodekluya, tr. Fegedneny Hodekluya, [feɢedneɲ‿ɦodeqɬujɒ]), is a landlocked country located within Central Miraria and north of the Miralayas. It is partially bordered to the East along the Belk and Cakar rivers. It is bordered with the nations of Koize and TBD(s?). It is 4th least densely populated nation upon Sahar, with the lesser densely populated nations as Achiyitqana, Translira, and Nolcik being less densely populated. Its official languages of Hodeki and Koizan are of Ryamaian and Mahavi descent respectively, as Hodeki is itself a language isolate belonging to the greater Ryamaian language family making it related to the Vaniuan languages, though it is closely related to the Sirchak languages within Ensia and Suenia. For centuries prior to its independence in 1828, Hodek saw no true national identity and was a series of various tribal entities belonging as tributaries or vassal clans to the Mahavi Khanates following the expansion of the Sunrise Horde.

During the 1800s, Hodek's population saw an upswing as a result of migration following the discovery of gold along the upper Cakar river tributaries. This spur in migration during a period of instability between various regions along the Parshita brought many peoples to Hodek, further improving its technological and economic base. Within 20 to 30 years, Hodek's economy had improved, but civil war led to Kuulist collectivization efforts resulting in stagnation of the economy, as well as an exodus of many educated individuals as a result of purges within the government and military. Despite surviving several Koizan military incursions, eventually Hodek's Kuulist government collapsed in 1954 after two years of protests and dissent. For most of the following period, Hodek has yet to recover from the Kuulist collectivization efforts, and has only slowly returned to being a recognizable 2nd World nation as a result of foreign assistance and efforts to bring in educated individuals to reverse the brain drain from 70 years earlier. Hodek today performs favorably in regards to civil liberties, press freedom, democratic governance, and its respect of equal rights for the Vodholk minority groups within the country.

Etymology

The source of the name Hodek is of unknown origin with several suggestions put forth to explain the source of the name. The most popular belief amongst linguists is the compound of the words from Proto-Degic *kod "fine/quality" and *eki meaning "to wash/that which is washed". Other theories is from the formations of *hu- "By/Near" and *dek meaning "together, connected" referring to the congregation of the Cakar and Belk rivers.

History

1550s–1828: Khanate Tributaries

1828–1923: First Republic of Hodek

1923–1954: Kuulist People's Territory

1954–present: Second Republic of Hodek

Following the peaceful transition of the government from the Kuulist to a more democratic state, elections were held in late 1954, resulting in Víngy Méghod being elected as the first Chairman of the Independence Party. Privatization of many elements of Hodek's state run economy had occurred, most notably the collective communes involving mining and reindeer herding. As a result, many small businesses propped up but due to the pre-existing income disparity, many of those who now owned these businesses conveniently members of the Hodeki Kuulist Party before its dissolution in the peaceful transition. As a result, much of the leadership and business practices in Hodek's economy still held a lack of efficiency despite the privatization. Efforts were introduced under Víngy Méghod's chairmanship to guide Hodek towards a more democratic system, however, he was not capable of reducing the economic disparity nor the brain-drain that had plagued the nation.

By the 80s and 90s, Hodek saw a series of foreign investors bring their businesses to Hodek during Beketfyed Selneg's chairmanship, when several restrictions on foreign investments were lifted, allowing companies such as Pearl to acquire various mines that had since gone out of business at rates that would later receive controversy regarding the sales. The Qonklese Pearl company purchased nearly 50,000 square kilometers of area for their mining efforts for a total of $40 Million USD in 1983, severely under cutting the value of the area. As a result of the corruption scandal, Beketfyed was forced to begin early elections where he'd lost to Micfyed Síngy's 52% of the vote in May of 1985. While some had expected Micfyed to reverse the sale of the land, Micfyed decided to renegotiate the terms of sale requiring the use of Hodeki workers as well as a roughly $2 Million USD donation towards public engineering schools in Hodek. The Pearl Company, however, refused but agreed to donate a 1% portion of resulting sales of Hodeki minerals to the Hodeki education system, solving most of the crisis regarding the legality of the sale.

Since 2002, Hodek has been led by Chairman Físelceg Mas, being the first female leader of Hodek, and also the first Hodeki to be of partial Mahavi descent. Físelceg has met opposition within the Fegedneny regarding the legal limitations of the military in 2014, where four citizens were killed during a dispute amongst patrons at a hotel in Noly. Despite calls for her to resign and call early elections, she has refused and claimed no responsibility for the acts.

Geography

Mount Kyán dominates much of the area of the Yertmik mountain range

Hodek has four main regions that define its geography. The largest region is the Tambuk plains which dominate most of Western Hodek, followed by the Cakar river valley which is the most inhabited area of Hodek along the North of the country. In the south, the Yertmik mountain range dominates the southern border with TBD, while in the Southeast the Belk river valley connects with the Cakar River Valley, whilst also being the second most populous region of Hodek.
