===Prehistory=== | |||
The earliest records of people in Hux Kham date back from 4000 BCE. However, the earliest records of ethnic Hux Khams came from 50 BCE, which do not match with Hux Kham people from the earlier periods. On 1200 BCE, Hux Kham saw an influx of migrating people from [[Baredina]]. The first are the [[Kni Yam people|Kni Yams]], and then followed by the [[Mroksa people]] on 300 BCE. As a result, modern ethnic Hux Khams bear genetic similarities with these ethnic groups. | |||
===Dynastic era=== | |||
The first known Hux Khamic empire is the [[Mroksa Empire]], whose founders are ethnically Mroksa. The empire lasted for long, until it was collapsed on 1089. Later, on the 12th century AD, ethnic Hux Khams under the leadership of [[Truk-sa]] built a new kingdom over the territory of modern Hux Kham, known as the [[Truk-sa Dynasty]]. The dynasty is the first in Hux Kham to be led by ethnic Hux Khams. This brought in an influx of immigrating ethnic Hux Khams, as they are subject to discrimination by the neighboring kingdoms. | |||
Hux Kham's territorial borders hardly changes since the formation of the Truk-sa dynasty. Its government encouraged immigration of Proto-Hux Khams into the kingdom, thus giving a relatively high population growth for Hux Kham. Truk-sa Dynasty stood well for about 300 years, until in 1405 when the monarchy at the time was overthrown by [[Bang-mo]]. | |||
The overthrow caused the Truk-sa Dynasty to collapse, which in turn prompted Hux Khams to migrate into the surrounding regions, with most going to the area now known as [[Qonklaks]] and [[Thejklaks]]. However, Hux Khams are then subjected into discrimination in these regions, prompting Hux Khams to eventually move out to [[Ebo Nganagam]] in Baredina. These groups are then later known as the [[Ebo Nganagam Hux Kham people|"Sailors"]]. | |||
Bang-mo's rule was eventually short-lived, as his son killed and overthrew him. Hux Kham then proceeded to have 16 another short-lived dynasties until 1601, when [[I-mak]] founded and solidified [[I-mak Dynasty|its dynasty]]. | |||
The I-mak dynasty is challenged by the rising idea of the "Republic of Hux Kham" in the early 19th century and the dynasty's high levels of corruption and inequality. At the time, there was a large gap between the free and tax-exempt noble class and the less free and taxed common class. This caused the common class to dissent the I-mak administration, and revolts emerge. Initially, the dynasty was still able to suppress the commoners' revolts, with one of the measures being the imposition of higher commoner taxes. However, in 1848, the dynasty was outpowered and eventually overthrown by the common class, thus ending the dynastic era of Hux Kham, and started the modern Republic of Hux Kham. | |||
<!-- | |||
===First Republic (1848-1890)=== | |||
The initial days of the Republic saw the noble class challenging the government, as the Republican government tried to equalize the power and the rights of both the noble class and the common class. This caused the noble class to deliberately hurt Hux Kham's economy, and in retaliation, the Republic increased its counter-rebel forces and suppressed the dissenting noble class. However, the noble class are also known to have its own military force, which escalates the conflict. This caused the Great Hux Kham Civil War, where the Republic could not gain full control of the country until 1872, as the nobles have been defeated. | |||
Following the Republican victory, the Republic then started a massive re-structurization of the military, removing the nobles' positions from most of the high-ranking officers. Hux Kham remained in an internal peace until 1890, where the former nobles managed to obtain high-ranking positions in the military and initiated a coup d'état towards the central Hux Kham government. This sparked another civil war in Hux Kham and severely wounding the military's image for the Hux Khams. The government was forced into exile, out of [[Hux Mlak]] from that time. | |||
===Military Republic (1890-1914)=== | |||
This era saw the military being the ruling power of Hux Kham, turning the central government into a military junta. The dynastic-era stratification of citizens was then re-introduced, bringing back the noble-commoner inequality. At the same time, revolts became more often, and the era saw the commoners burning the Hux Mlak seaport as a form of protest. The government-in-exile then eventually re-established the Republican military in 1902, although at a smaller size. The Republican military decided to launch a massive invasion of Hux Mlak in 1913, where the Republic along with its commoner militia besieged Hux Mlak. The ruling military force retaliated shortly after, burning some rural villages around Hux Kham. It managed to hold off initial Republican attacks, but as the Republic turned the assault into a war of attrition, the ruling military exhausted itself. This allows the Republic to eventually regain power in 1914. | |||
===Modern Republic (1914-present)=== | |||
:''{{see also|Hux Kham#Military}}'' | |||
Following the Republican victory over the military junta, the Hux Kham prime minister at the time abolished much of the military, under the fear that the military may turn into "a coup-hungry organization" and due to the severely-bad public image of the military. The law abolishing the military was unanimously passed and enforced on the 12th of December, 1915. This day is then celebrated nationally as the National Peace Day of Hux Kham, one of Hux Kham's public holidays. In replacement, a smaller, police force serves as the replacement for the military. | |||
The era saw the massive rebuilding of the country as the Republic tried to remove any prevailing stratifying ideologies initially introduced during the I-mak dynasty and reverse the damages done by the former military junta. In the 1920s, Hux Kham has recovered its economy to that of the pre-military junta 1890s, and then grew to become one of the fastest industrializing countries at the time. | |||

Republic of Hux Kham is a parliamentary republic with a unicameral parliamentary system. The head of state is president, the term of office for president is 5 years, and can only serve two terms. The president of Hux Kham is elected by the parliament and is purely ceremonial. | |||
Currently, the largest parties are the right-wing Lakelander Party and the left-wing People's party, there are also smaller but significant parties like the Nationalist party(right wing), Democratic party(centralist with a right wing tendency), Progressive party(centralist with a left wing tendency), Environmentalist party(left wing), Republican party(right wing), Fundamental Socialism party(far left wing), etc. | |||

===Military=== | ===Military=== | ||
Hux Kham is a country that lacks any military, as it has been abolished since the 12th of December, 1915. The military duties of Hux Kham, particularly on the purpose of defense, are transferred to [[Qonklaks]] on the 20th of May, 1966. The reason for this is Hux Khams' dismay over the military during [[Hux Kham#Military Republic (1890-1914)|the military occupation]], and the fears of nobelist ideologies over the Hux Kham military. | |||
This zero-military constitution was mentioned during the 100th anniversary of Hux Kham's abolition of the military, on 2015, when the Hux Kham former president [[Myah Ki-thar]] said "Our peace has been achieved through the abolition of the military, an organization that, in Hux Kham, has brought us with chaos. We believe that the ultimate answer to peace is with a state of zero military". | |||
The constitution did not cause any adverse effects on Hux Kham itself, as its mountainous geographic conditions effectively prevented any danger from most world wars, including the outbreak of the [[Great Ekuosian War]] that was spilled into Soltenna. In fact, after the abolition of the military in 1915, much of the military budget was transferred for the funding of Hux Kham's infrastructural projects, notably the Hux Kham national road network. | |||
The only legal armed force in Hux Kham is the police. Official statistics from 2017 state that there are about 7,300 people serving as the police force of Hux Kham. The use of military-level firearms, such as rifles and sub-machine guns, are banned, and as such, the Hux Kham police relies on smaller firearms, particularly pistols, for the purposes of duty. Given Hux Kham's geographic conditions and predominantly-dirt rural roads, it is not uncommon for the police to patrol rural regions with horses. | |||
==Economy== | ==Economy== | ||
Hux Kham is a developed country, as much of urban Hux Khams live a high-standard life. Rural regions, however, given the remoteness and geographic extremes, lacks contact with industrialization. | |||
Notable Hux Kham products are horses, automobiles, and food. Horses in Hux Kham are traditionally known as one of Sahar's best horse breeds. Hux Kham is also notable for its growing automobile industry. However, agriculture remains one of the dominant contributors of Hux Kham economy, as Hux Kham's high agricultural output as well as technological advents made it one of the largest producers of food per capita and one of the largest exporters of food in Sahar. | |||
===Industry=== | |||
[[File:Hux Kham car.jpg|thumb|A car by KingEn, a Hux Kham automobile company]] | |||
In the 1950s, Hux Kham experienced a period of rapid industrialization. One of the fastest growing industries in Hux Kham at the time is the automobile industry. The period saw Soltennan auto companies finding countries with cheap labor for their automobile manufacturing facility, and Hux Kham became their ideal location. In the process, the transfer of technology saw rise of Hux Kham auto companies, like [[KingEn]]. | |||
These rapid industrialization brought economic growth with it, on both sides. Foreign companies expand, and Hux Kham turns into a developed country. The rapid economic growth declined in the 1970s, as average wages significantly rise and local demands for certain industries, like automobiles, fall. This opted both Hux Kham and foreign companies to move out of Hux Kham, expecting lower wage rates and larger markets. Consequentially, much of the companies that used to house in Hux Kham left the Hux Kham market almost entirely, in favor of countries like [[Algador]], and in rarer cases, [[Republic of Myak Kham|Myak Kham]]. | |||

The government has plans to expand tourism in Hux Kham as a part of the government's "economic diversification". | |||

Hux Kham, Officially the Republic of Hux Kham (Hux Kham language: Hux Kham Mlu Hlu, IPA: /xuʔ kʰam məlu xlu/), is a country located in Soltenna.
As people of the country have little breakthrough in fields like science, technology, philosophy and art, it is sometimes called "The Land of Banality" by other peoples.
Etymology
The name of Republic of Hux Kham is from Hux Kham, which means "the Land of the Lake/Lakes" or "Lakeland" in the Hux Kham language.
History
(wip)
Prehistory
The earliest records of people in Hux Kham date back from 4000 BCE. However, the earliest records of ethnic Hux Khams came from 50 BCE, which do not match with Hux Kham people from the earlier periods. On 1200 BCE, Hux Kham saw an influx of migrating people from Baredina. The first are the Kni Yams, and then followed by the Mroksa people on 300 BCE. As a result, modern ethnic Hux Khams bear genetic similarities with these ethnic groups.
Dynastic era
The first known Hux Khamic empire is the Mroksa Empire, whose founders are ethnically Mroksa. The empire lasted for long, until it was collapsed on 1089. Later, on the 12th century AD, ethnic Hux Khams under the leadership of Truk-sa built a new kingdom over the territory of modern Hux Kham, known as the Truk-sa Dynasty. The dynasty is the first in Hux Kham to be led by ethnic Hux Khams. This brought in an influx of immigrating ethnic Hux Khams, as they are subject to discrimination by the neighboring kingdoms.

The overthrow caused the Truk-sa Dynasty to collapse, which in turn prompted Hux Khams to migrate into the surrounding regions, with most going to the area now known as Qonklaks and Thejklaks. However, Hux Khams are then subjected into discrimination in these regions, prompting Hux Khams to eventually move out to Ebo Nganagam in Baredina. These groups are then later known as the "Sailors".
Bang-mo's rule was eventually short-lived, as his son killed and overthrew him. Hux Kham then proceeded to have 16 another short-lived dynasties until 1601, when I-mak founded and solidified its dynasty.
The I-mak dynasty is challenged by the rising idea of the "Republic of Hux Kham" in the early 19th century and the dynasty's high levels of corruption and inequality. At the time, there was a large gap between the free and tax-exempt noble class and the less free and taxed common class. This caused the common class to dissent the I-mak administration, and revolts emerge. Initially, the dynasty was still able to suppress the commoners' revolts, with one of the measures being the imposition of higher commoner taxes. However, in 1848, the dynasty was outpowered and eventually overthrown by the common class, thus ending the dynastic era of Hux Kham, and started the modern Republic of Hux Kham.

Military
Hux Kham is a country that lacks any military, as it has been abolished since the 12th of December, 1915. The military duties of Hux Kham, particularly on the purpose of defense, are transferred to Qonklaks on the 20th of May, 1966. The reason for this is Hux Khams' dismay over the military during the military occupation, and the fears of nobelist ideologies over the Hux Kham military.
This zero-military constitution was mentioned during the 100th anniversary of Hux Kham's abolition of the military, on 2015, when the Hux Kham former president Myah Ki-thar said "Our peace has been achieved through the abolition of the military, an organization that, in Hux Kham, has brought us with chaos. We believe that the ultimate answer to peace is with a state of zero military".
The constitution did not cause any adverse effects on Hux Kham itself, as its mountainous geographic conditions effectively prevented any danger from most world wars, including the outbreak of the Great Ekuosian War that was spilled into Soltenna. In fact, after the abolition of the military in 1915, much of the military budget was transferred for the funding of Hux Kham's infrastructural projects, notably the Hux Kham national road network.
The only legal armed force in Hux Kham is the police. Official statistics from 2017 state that there are about 7,300 people serving as the police force of Hux Kham. The use of military-level firearms, such as rifles and sub-machine guns, are banned, and as such, the Hux Kham police relies on smaller firearms, particularly pistols, for the purposes of duty. Given Hux Kham's geographic conditions and predominantly-dirt rural roads, it is not uncommon for the police to patrol rural regions with horses.
Economy
Hux Kham is a developed country, as much of urban Hux Khams live a high-standard life. Rural regions, however, given the remoteness and geographic extremes, lacks contact with industrialization.
Notable Hux Kham products are horses, automobiles, and food. Horses in Hux Kham are traditionally known as one of Sahar's best horse breeds. Hux Kham is also notable for its growing automobile industry. However, agriculture remains one of the dominant contributors of Hux Kham economy, as Hux Kham's high agricultural output as well as technological advents made it one of the largest producers of food per capita and one of the largest exporters of food in Sahar.
Industry
In the 1950s, Hux Kham experienced a period of rapid industrialization. One of the fastest growing industries in Hux Kham at the time is the automobile industry. The period saw Soltennan auto companies finding countries with cheap labor for their automobile manufacturing facility, and Hux Kham became their ideal location. In the process, the transfer of technology saw rise of Hux Kham auto companies, like KingEn.
These rapid industrialization brought economic growth with it, on both sides. Foreign companies expand, and Hux Kham turns into a developed country. The rapid economic growth declined in the 1970s, as average wages significantly rise and local demands for certain industries, like automobiles, fall. This opted both Hux Kham and foreign companies to move out of Hux Kham, expecting lower wage rates and larger markets. Consequentially, much of the companies that used to house in Hux Kham left the Hux Kham market almost entirely, in favor of countries like Algador, and in rarer cases, Myak Kham.
