Geography

Haipoon is located on a large peninsular in South-East Ochran at the entrance of the Ozeros Sea. Haipoon shares land borders with Uluujol to the north, and Jhengtsang to the west, and maritime borders with Pulau Keramat to the south-west, Lion's Rock and Onekawa-Nukanoa to the south, and Fuyang to the east.

Climate

Enviroment

Haipoon comprises several distinct geographic regions, and is home to a number of river systems. The Di'roong delta in the nations north makes the predominantly rich fertile low-lying flat land prone to seasonal flooding. Due to the agricultural importance of the region, it is intensely developed and densely populated. Central Haipoon is home to large plains, while large portions of Haipoon's western borders are mountainous, and the south is mostly hilly and densely forested.

Politics & Government

Government

Haipoon is highly decentralised oligarchal theocracy which operates under a ‘two-system’ model having both a ‘spiritual’ and ‘secular’ government. The Sangharaja, also known as Supreme Monk, is the head of state, as well as highest ranking religious authority being the head of Haipoon’s state religion. The Sangharaja is aided in his duties by the Sangha Supreme Council, the ultimate authority for all ecclesiastical matters within Haipoon, and who’s leadership consists of the country's highest-ranking monks. In parallel, the Custodian of State, is the highest acting ‘civil and political’ authority of state, acting as head of government, and appointed from the ‘Council of Lords’ comprised of representatives from Haipoon's noble landed families. The Custodian is elected for a five-year term, but may be removed at any time by either the Council of Lords or Shangharaja. Haipoons two system model causes an uneasy and delicate balance of power between the religious establishment and landed nobility within the nation.

Being a highly decentralised state however, the majority of power in governance lies with local temples and lords under the Mandala system of Mueang and Nakhons.


Shangharaja and Supreme Council

The Sangharaja, also known as Supreme Monk, is the head of state, as well as highest ranking religious authority being the head of Haipoon’s state religion. The Sangharaja is aided in his duties by the Sangha Supreme Council, the ultimate authority for all ecclesiastical matters within Haipoon, and who’s leadership consists of the country's highest-ranking monks. The armed forces, judiciary, state religion, and other key government institutions are subject to the Supreme Monk.

The Shangharaja is appointed to the office for life. Upon death of the Shangharaja, candidates are selected from amongst Haipoons temples. The Shangharaja appoints the Sangha supreme council.


Custodian of State and Council of Lords


Mandala System

As a highly decentralised state, the majority of governance stems from Haipoon's local communities called Mueang (Muong in the South), or Nakhon (cities). Mueang and Nakhon are defined by their center of influence, rather than physical boundaries which are often blurred. Different villages and individual families may owe allegiance to different Mueangs.

Mueang are governed from, and include the areas of influence surrounding local temples. Nakhon are cities often comprised of numerous Mueang, and as such ruled by a council of monks from amongst the temples, often from the most significant temple in the region.

Khun

After land owned directly by temples, local land owners called Khun (lords) own the majority of land in rural Haipoon. Comprising of powerful families descended from the warrior class, Khun were traditionally tasked with protecting local regions from outside attack, and thus have been gifted land and limited power by local temples.

Khun continue to have the responsibility of providing tributes and defense to local temples, but now exist as a powerful social class with the ability to elect representatives from amongst their ranks onto the Council of Lords, who in turn elect secretariats of state, and appoint the Custodian of State.

Khun lands are lived and worked on by the peasant class.
