Habesha, officially the Democratic Republic of Habesha (Kembesan: ተዋሕዶ ዴሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ; Häbäša Dēmokirasīyawī Rīpebilīk; Agazian-Targaruvic: ዴሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ ሓበሻ; Dēmokirasīyawī Rīpebilīki Ḥabäša) is a sovereign country located in Eastern Scipia, sharing a border to the north with M'Biruna and a northwestern border with Itayana. The county's capital and most populous city is Asella, and the city of Sodo is also utilized for government purposes as the economic center of Tewahedo. The country is extremely diverse, with over fifty-seven different tribes being represented within the constitution, with the majority of people belonging to the Habeshite group, including Kembesans.
Human inhabitation of Habesha has been dated to around over 1 million years, however this estimate has been disputed. Early anthropological research has indicated that records kept by tribes of the area created very early forms of language that have since remained indeciperable. Human migration tracks indicated that many of the Habeshan people migrated around 2,000 B.C.E. and subsequently forced many of the Seraic people to migrate westward after adopting their methodology of pastoralism and subsequent evolution into agriculturalism. Around 500 B.C.E., several different Habeshan, Komotu and Seriac kingdoms had been established throughout the area. The most notable of these was the Kingdom of Hamasien, which evolved into the Hamasien Empire that lasted until 237 B.C.E. where the Hamasien Empire collapsed.
The Habeshite Kingdom was established in 1167, where it would undergo several different fragmentations and civil wars in an attempt to prove the legitimacy of the Haymanotic dynasty. In particular, the Haymanotic dynasty had a large conflict with the The Haymanot dynasty would only be accepted by many splintering tribes after the signing of the Accords of Asella in 1277. Most of the area was subsequently subjugated under King Mengistu I.
In 1799, Queen Newaya II sought to expand into the Seriac western areas that had been supposedly hampering the Empire's economic development under the behest of various noble Habeshites and many different merchant classes, including the Kembesan merchants. Her conquest, known as Newaya's Conquest, saw quick and brutal expansion towards the west and carving the border to its modern-day borders close to Itayana. Her conquest was followed immediately by a period of intense civil conflict within the west known as the Widimeti. The Widimeti, since blamed in Newaya II and the noble Habeshites, saw subsequent near-genocidal conflicts against the Seriac. This including the passing of suppressive laws and the settlement of Habeshites westward that impoverished or outright rooted out the Seriac. 1925 saw the beginning of the Habeshan Civil War, which saw a multi-fronted civil war between political groups and the Haymanotic dynasty. The Civil War ended in the exile of the Haymanotic dynasty and the execution of King Mengistu IV, and the establishment of the Habeshite Provisional Democratic Government under the National Movement of Citizens Democracy
