omg yellow peril Hamilay (Chinese: 哈密力国; pinyin: Hāmìlìguó), officially the Imperium of Hamilay (Chinese: 哈密力国帝国; pinyin: Hāmìlìguó Dìguó), is an island country in Gholgoth, consisting of the Hamilayan mainland and its surrounding islands. Its closest neighbours are Ekraysia and Aralonia. The territory of Hamilay covers 11,490,100 square kilometers (4,436,352 square miles) and is primarily a temperate climate with subarctic and Mediterranean zones in the north and south respectively.

The Hamilayan continent and its home islands have been continuously inhabited for over 4,000 years. Hamilay consisted of a loose confederation of city-states and kingdoms until Hamilayan unification under the xx dynasty in the 1st century AD. xx successive dynasties have ruled Hamilay since, with the current xx dynasty having ascended to the throne in 1709. In 2006 the pretender xx of the xx Dynasty spearheaded an unsucessful attempt to return to the throne, leading to a brief but bloody civil war. Democratic reforms made over the 20th century were abruptly reversed in 2008, when the government of First Minister some guy was overthrown in a military coup.

Hamilay is a constitutional monarchy where the monarch, the Hamilayan Emperor, holds supreme executive power. The emperor ruled as absolute monarch until 1911, when the xx Emperor introduced Hamilay's first constitution, codifying the powers of the Imperial office, bureaucracy, judiciary and Parliament (Chinese: 哈密力议会; pinyin: Hāmìlìguó Yìhuì), which holds legislative power. The Federal Republic is made up of forty-two provinces, ??? municipalities and ??? districts. The capital and largest city is Yinjing. Hamilay is a member of the Gholgoth region and associated alliance. It has also been a member of numerous other now-defunct organisations throughout its modern history. Despite this, its modern foreign policy has been generally non-interventionist.

Etymology

Hamilay directly corresponds to Hāmìlìguó (Chinese: 哈密力国) in Chinese, the full Chinese name for the Imperium being Hāmìlìguó Dìguó (Chinese: 哈密力国帝国). Hāmìlì (Chinese: 哈密) is a common shortened name in use and is the source of the Anglicized name of Hamilay. A common poetic name for Hamilay is Yǒnghéngguó (Chinese: 永恒国), or 'eternal state'.

Foreign relations

Main article: Foreign relations of Hamilay

Hamilay has been an isolationist nation for much of its history but its involvement in the international sphere has been steadily increasing since the late 20th century. Hamilay was a former UFAN member and the founder of the now-defunct AEFN and generally maintains cordial relations with former members of both organisations. Its free-trade policies have also brought Hamilay closer to large economic powers such as Praetonia and Questers through trading relations.

Emperor Yiwei has continued the internationalist trend, most notably securing Hamilayan membership in the Gholgoth alliance, aligning Hamilay with several nations notorious for totalitarianism and abuse of human rights. The Hamilayan alignment towards Gholgoth is thought to represent an important foreign policy shift towards a consistently interventionist stance.
