The Socialist Republic of Rhava (Rhavanese Huang (Lan): 日国) is a one-party communist republic located in Eastern Alharu. The nation borders Yeosan to the west and the Whanganui Sea to the East. It has a tropical climate. The capital is Rhavapura and the largest city is Chow Chó. The nation has a population of approximately 38 million. Rhavanese Huang or Lan, is the national language of the country, and part of the Huang language family. Most of the country is Irreligious, although there are a few ethnic groups who practice Hinduism and Buddhism.
The Rhavanese people have inhabited the eastern half of the island for most of history. Though the north-eastern province of Cạm Đong is inhabited by a population of mostly seafarers that migrated from Marensesia, specifically the Nusantara island Chain. Rhava has always been ravaged by invaders from the Yellow Empire, and also has suffered from strong monsoons. Though the Yellow Empire only ever held the north of the country, the rest of the country had always been divided. After Nayasarri's Revolt in 1782, the recently liberated kingdoms of Rhava separated into the Northern, Central, and Southern kingdoms of Rhava. Though peace was maintained through the 1800s tensions were ever high. Then in 1898 the Communist revolution happened in the north, where wealthy landowners were accused of abusing the poor and the monetary systems and were put on tribunals, and eventually executed. The south did not support this socialist power in the north, because they were a democratic republic in the south. Tensions rose even higher when in 1969, the north annexed the middle kingdoms. The south alarmed by the aggression, moved its troops to their northern border, the north did the same. In 1970 the north officially declared war, and entered the Calico Jungles. In late 1970, Manaw was taken. In 1971 Quây Yuán was taken. And in 1973 the north took Chow Chó, ending the war and uniting the country after a century of separation. Now, tensions are ever rising between the capitalist leaning south, and communist leaning north, threatening another civil war.
Rhava is a developing country in eastern Alharu, There is no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, and no freedom to peacefully protest/assemble. Rhava has also faced criticism for its prosecution of ethnic peoples for the Kidney Islands and the ethnic peoples in the Cạm Đong province. Rhava has a reasonably stable economy, controlled mostly by the government, but there has been a move towards private corporations. The main industries of Rhava is information technology, textile production, oil and coal, and fish and rice and other foods. Rhava had a gross domestic product of $540 billion, or $14,210 per capita, in 2020.
Etymology
Rhava's name comes from the early version of Rhavanese culture and the Rhavanese-Huang mix language known as Lan. Rhava's direct meaning has been lost to time, the only documented papers showing the name is from the Săm Dynasty in 370 CE. Though the name was quickly forgotten as the Yellow Empire Quickly tried to takeover Rhava, and renamed the region to 日国 in standard Huang, which directly translates to Sun Kingdom. This name might be from the hot sun that always was there during their conquests, or the yellow rice fields of the central kingdom, or the sun being held by the elephant on Rhava's flag. After that, during the age of colonization Rhava combined with surrounding states was renamed to Benjalonia in Anglish. The country internationally was known as Benjalonia or Rhava, and the country was known nationally as Rhava, though in 2021 it was officially dubbed Rhava by the government and the announcement was made on an international broadcast.
