Hawidaria (Mehari: ሀዋዲዲያ; Hāwadīdīya /häwidäriä/), also known as the Republic of Hawidaria (Mehari: ''ይሀዋዲዲያ ሪፐብሊክ; ye'Hāwadīdīya Rīpebilīki jəhäwidäriä ɾipɛbɨlik/ or /ɾipɛbɨlikɨ/) is a sovereign state located in Central Bahia. It shares a border with Wale to the north, Tabora and Garambura to the east, Rwizikuru and Mabifia to the south, and PLACEHOLDER to the west. It also borders the Coast of Bahia and the Vehemens Ocean to the northeast. With a population of approximately 65 million people, Hawidaria is the XXth largest nation in Bahia and the XXXth largest nation in the world. It occupies a total area of 1,244,239 km2 (480,403 square miles), being the XXth largest country in Bahia and the XXXth largest in the world. The nations capital is located in the city of Mekedafa (occassionally Mekekaffa), which is also the country's economic and social hub.
Humans have inhabited the region that would come to be modern-day Hawidaria for thousands of years, with some of the earliest recorded archeological evidence of anotomically correct humans being found in the region. The area also has a long history of strong government, with the first mythical monarchies being founded in the area sometime around 5 BCE. These governments eventually gave way to the Hawidari Empire which existed continuously from 1135 until 1924 when reigning monarch Abdimelech Wakeyo III was forced to make several territorial concessions, ultimately culminating in the country being annexed as a protectorate of the larger Gaullican Empire and becoming base of operations throughout the rest of the continent. The region ultimately rebelled against the Gaullican occupation during the latter part of the war, successfully forcing them, as well as the by then unpopular monarchy, out of the country. A provisional council was formed and quickly declared a republic, holding inaugeral elections in 1940; however, a rift quickly developed between pro-Euclean and pro-Bahian segments of the population. The rise of Bahian socialism and Pan-Bahianist thought ultimately led to the Revolution of Dignity, which saw the All-Bahian People's Liberation Organization-Revolutionary Front for National Democracy (MBHND-YDAG) rise to power. Instituting a unique form of pan-Bahianism known as Talak’i Mahibereseb, the country would embark on a grassroots, community organized form of 'socialism with Bahian tendencies.' The nation would become a constituent nation within the confederal United Bahian Republic, though ideological differences between it's leadership and that of Rwizikuru would lead to the nation withdrawing from the UBR in 1964. Since then the country has charted its own geopolitical path in the world, maintaining relations with ROSPO, COMSED, and the Euclean Community while also seeking economic growth and development at home.
Hawidaria is a federal dominant-party parliamentary republic, also frequently classifying itself as a pan-national state given its many ethnic groups and languages. Though technically a dominant-party system politically, due to all parties being required to join the All-Bahian People's Liberation Organization-Revolutionary Front for National Democracy, the front functions more as a grand coalition that merely exists to organize the parties and promote coordination amongst them. It is also one of the few direct, popular democracies in the world. Recent economic developments and initiatives have seen it gain the status of being a newly industrialized nation with a nominal GDP per capita of $7,575 and a nominal GDP of roughly $498 billion, making it the XXth largest economy in Bahia. The country also maintains the XXth largest armed forces in the region, making it a regional power. Hawidaria's multi-faceted and pragmatic foreign policy, which seeks to make it a "partner of partners" has seen it gain membership in the Community of Nations, the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs, the International Trade Organization, the Atomic Energy Commission, the International Forum for Developing States, and the International Council for Democracy.

Politics
Politics in Hawidaria is almost entirely dominated by the All-Bahian People's Liberation Organization-Revolutionary Front for National Democracy (Mehari: መላው ባሃያን ህዝብ ነፃነት ድርጅት-የብሔራዊ ዲሞክራሲ አብዮታዊ ግንባር tl. Melawi Bahayani Hizibi Net͟s’aneti Dirijiti-Yebiḥērawī Dīmokirasī Ābiyotawī Ginibari), which legally serves as the only legal political organization in the country. All parties are required to register as members of the MBHND-YDAG. Functionally, however, the MBHND-YDAG is functionally a popular front organization meant to provide an "official channel" for all political organizations and groups to be able to function. Serving as a grand coalition of pan-Bahian parties of all stripes, debate and discussion is actually encouraged within the organization via the Pan-Bahian Congress. Individuals who do not wish to run under the aegis of the MBHND-YDAG can instead run as independent politicians. Participation as an independent politician is not hindered within the politican system, and is actually encouraged in order to better determine the feelings of the population as a whole.
The All-Bahian People's Liberation Organization-Revolutionary Front for National Democracy defines itself as a grassroots pan-Bahianist socialist movement prioritizing direct, popular democracy in decisionmaking.

Hawidaria is a officially a federal dominant-party parliamentary republic. The powers of head of state, largely a ceremonial or symbolic role, are vested in the office of the Presidency. The current President is Kelile Temesgen Negasi, who has served in the office since 2005. The President must renounce party affiliations in order to serve the office. The powers of head of government are vested in the office of the Prime Minister. The current Prime Minister is Mengistu Selassiee Dawit, who has served in that capacity since 2018.
In addition to both the President and Prime Minister, there also exists a directoral advisory body known as the Federal Administrative Council. The body, which is composed of fourteen members plus the President, is tasked with advising the Prime Minister on day to day affairs of the nation in conjunction with his Cabinet. Staffed entirely with independent experts and technocrats, the body is meant to aid the decisionmaking processes of the nation. In addition, all of the country's ethnic groups are also given a seat on the council. The President serves as a de-facto primus inter pares of the FAC, though he only serves to ensure that proceedings go forward normally. In rare cases, where the the council reaches a deadlock on whether or not it should approve or deny a government decision or policy, the President will weigh in as the deciding vote.
The highest legislative body on a federal level is the All-Hawidari People's Congress, a bicameral body that is divided between the Assembly of State and the Assembly of Representatives. State Representatives from the Assembly of State are appointed by the governor of the state they represent, and are subsequently confirmed by their state legislatures. Representatives from the Assembly of Representatives are elected by the population of the district they represent via direct elections. Members of both chambers serve an unlimited number of three-year terms.
On a subnational, or state, level exists the State Assembly. State Assemblies are unicameral bodies which draft, deliberate, and pass state laws for the approval of their respective governors. State Assemblymembers serve an unlimited number of two-year terms and are elected via direct election within their districts.
