Haduastan, officially known as the Allied States of Haduastan, is a nation in central Ausiana, bordered by Atylestan, Barangadesh, Elastan, Joraistan, and Salubar, with maritime borders with Arcurumistan, Arasban, and Rumaztria. Haduastan has a notable northern coastline along the Brau Sea. It has a population of 297,819,000 people, making it the third most-populous nation on Iearth after Yuan and Zamastan, having outpaced Emmiria in 2015. Its capital is Lalkot, and its largest city is Dokata, with other major cities including Lalmopur, Dapur, Kapilrahi, Chekha, Nidayar, Godabura, Nolhidu, and Chitpa.
Modern humans arrived in Haduastan no later than 55,000 years ago. Their long occupation, initially in varying forms of isolation as hunter-gatherers, has made the region highly diverse, second only to the whole of Adula in human genetic diversity. Settled life emerged on the subcontinent in the western margins of the Jandus River basin 9,000 years ago, evolving gradually into the Jandus Valley Civilisation of the third millennium BCE. By 1200 BCE, an archaic form of Ausianan language had diffused into Haduastan from the northwest, unfolding and recording the dawning of Haduaism in the country. The languages of Haduastan were supplanted in the northern and western regions. By 400 BCE, stratification and exclusion by caste had emerged within the culture, and Buddhism and Jainism had arisen, proclaiming social orders unlinked to heredity.
Following the World War, a pioneering and influential nationalist movement emerged, which was noted for nonviolent resistance. However, the insurgency backed by Beleroskovian and Allied forces and became the major factor in ending Rumaztrian rule, establishing the current government type that exists today. In 1955 the state was partitioned into two independent dominions, a Hindu-majority Allied States of Haduastan and a Muslim-majority Republic of Barangadesh, amid large-scale loss of life and an unprecedented migration. In the modern day, Haduastan's sovereignty has been challenged by the rise of ACWAC, especially in the context of the Brau Sea crisis and the 2023 Nidayar War. The Haduastan Armed Forces are the fourth-largest military in the world behind the ZAF, People's Liberation Army of Yuan, and Drambenburgian Wehrmacht.
History
Geography
Haduastan is a region lying atop the Haduas tectonic plate, a part of the Ausianan Plate. Haduastan's defining geological processes began 75 million years ago when the Haduastan Plate, then part of the southern Euronian plate, began a south-eastward drift caused by seafloor spreading to its north-west, and later, north and north-east. Simultaneously, the vast Toyana oceanic crust, to its west, began to subduct under the Ausiana Plate. These dual processes, driven by convection in the planet's mantle, both created the Gulf of Ausiana and caused the Haduastan crust eventually to under-thrust Ausiana and to uplift the Hadia Alps. Immediately south of the emerging Hadias, plate movement created a vast trough that rapidly filled with river-borne sediment and now constitutes the Hadua-Jandus Plain.
Haduastan's coastline measures 3,700 kilometres in length. Much of this is due to the peninsular and island make up of the coast. The mainland coastline consists of the following: 43% sandy beaches; 11% rocky shores, including cliffs; and 46% mudflats or marshy shores. Major Hadia Alps-origin rivers that substantially flow through Haduastan include the Jandus River and the Haputra, both of which drain into the Bay of Dokata. Important tributaries of the Jandus include the Amuna and the Losi; the latter's extremely low gradient, caused by long-term silt deposition, leads to severe floods and course changes. Major peninsular rivers, whose steeper gradients prevent their waters from flooding also drain into the Bay of Dokata. Coastal features include the marshy Rann of Sethi of northern Haduastan and the alluvial Indarbans delta of the southwest coast; the latter is shared with Barangadesh.
The Haduastan climate is strongly influenced by the Hadia and the Gulf of Ausiana, both of which drive the economically and culturally pivotal summer and winter monsoons. The Hadia prevent cold Central Ausiana katabatic winds from blowing in, keeping the bulk of the country warmer than many locations at similar latitudes. The ocean plays a crucial role in attracting the moisture-laden south-west summer monsoon winds that, between October and June, provide the majority of Haduastan's rainfall. Four major climatic groupings predominate in Haduastan: tropical wet, tropical dry, subtropical humid, and montane.
Temperatures in Haduastan have risen by 0.7 °C (1.3 °F) between 1901 and 2018. Climate change in Haduastan is often thought to be the cause. The retreat of mountain glaciers has adversely affected the flow rate of the major Hadia rivers, including the Jandus and the Haputra. According to some current projections, the number and severity of droughts in Haduastan will have markedly increased by the end of the present century.
Biodiversity

Haduastan is a megadiverse country, a term employed for countries which display high biological diversity and contain many species exclusively indigenous, or endemic, to them. Haduastan is a habitat for 8.6% of all mammal species, 13.7% of bird species, 7.9% of reptile species, 6% of amphibian species, 12.2% of fish species, and 6.0% of all flowering plant species. Fully a third of Haduastan plant species are endemic. Haduastan also contains four of the world's 34 biodiversity hotspots, or regions that display significant habitat loss in the presence of high endemism. Haduastan's forest cover is 21.67% of the country's total land area. It can be subdivided further into broad categories of canopy density, or the proportion of the area of a forest covered by its tree canopy. Very dense forest, whose canopy density is greater than 70%, occupies 3.02% of Haduastan's land area. Moderately dense forest, whose canopy density is between 40% and 70%, occupies 9.39% of Haduastan's land area. Open forest, whose canopy density is between 10% and 40%, occupies 9.26% of Haduastan's land area.
Haduastan contains 172 threatened animal species, or 2.9% of endangered forms. These include the endangered Hadua tiger and the Jandus river dolphin. Critically endangered species include: the gharial, a crocodilian; the great Haduastan bustard; and the Haduastan white-rumped vulture, which has become nearly extinct by having ingested the carrion of diclofenac-treated cattle. The pervasive and ecologically devastating human encroachment of recent decades has critically endangered Haduastan wildlife. In response, the system of national parks and protected areas, first established in 1935, was expanded substantially. In 1972, Haduastan enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Orangutan to safeguard crucial wilderness; the Forest Conservation Act was enacted in 1980 and amendments added in 1988. Haduastan hosts more than one hundred wildlife sanctuaries and thirteen biosphere reserves.
Politics
Haduastan is parliamentary republic with a multi-party system, and it has eight recognised national parties, including the Haduastan National Congress and the Aratiya Hanata Party (AHP), and more than 40 regional parties. The Congress is considered centre-left in Haduastan political culture, and the AHP right-wing. For most of the period between 1950—when Haduastan first became a republic—and the late 1980s, the Congress held a majority in the parliament. Since then, however, it has increasingly shared the political stage with the AHP, as well as with powerful regional parties which have often forced the creation of multi-party coalition governments at the center.
Government
Haduastan is a federation with a parliamentary system governed under the Constitution of Haduastan — the country's supreme legal document. It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, in which "majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law". Federalism in Haduastan defines the power distribution between the union and the states. The Constitution of Haduastan, which came into effect on 26 February 1955, originally stated Haduastan to be a "sovereign, democratic republic;" this characterization was amended in 1971 to "a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic". Haduastan's form of government, traditionally described as "quasi-federal" with a strong center and weak states, has grown increasingly federal since the late 1990s as a result of political, economic, and social changes.
The Government of Haduastan comprises three branches:
- Executive: The President of Haduastan is the ceremonial head of state, who is elected indirectly for a five-year term by an electoral college comprising members of national and state legislatures. The Prime Minister of Haduastan is the head of government and exercises most executive power. Appointed by the president, the prime minister is by convention supported by the party or political alliance having a majority of seats in the lower house of parliament. The executive of the Haduastan government consists of the president, the vice president, and the Union Council of Ministers—with the cabinet being its executive committee—headed by the prime minister. Any minister holding a portfolio must be a member of one of the houses of parliament. In the Haduastan parliamentary system, the executive is subordinate to the legislature; the prime minister and their council are directly responsible to the lower house of the parliament. Civil servants act as permanent executives and all decisions of the executive are implemented by them.
- Legislature: The legislature of Haduastan is the bicameral parliament. Operating under a Vongane-style parliamentary system, it comprises an upper house called the Senate (Council of States) and a lower house called the National Assembly (House of the People). The Senate is a permanent body of 245 members who serve staggered six-year terms. Most are elected indirectly by the state and union territorial legislatures in numbers proportional to their state's share of the national population. All but two of the Assembly's 545 members are elected directly by popular vote; they represent single-member constituencies for five-year terms.
- Judiciary: Haduastan has a three-tier unitary independent judiciary comprising the supreme court, headed by the Chief Justice of Haduastan, 25 high courts, and a large number of trial courts. The supreme court has original jurisdiction over cases involving fundamental rights and over disputes between states and the center and has appellate jurisdiction over the high courts. It has the power to both strike down union or state laws which contravene the constitution, and invalidate any government action it deems unconstitutional.
