History

The Revolution
The Revolution was long overdue since the fall of the old Empire, ideals of independence hit an all-time-high, as the Persians couldn't hold the majority of the Harinians searching for independence. The revolution broke through. The Pahlavi king was assassinated, and Dangivz I, was crowned King, elected by the people. The Persian populace was integrated into Harinia, as the country went a long series of reforms in 1915, and the country was breathtakingly stabilized by 1916.

Harinian-Russian War
In 1916, Harinia took it's chance to gain back rightful Harinian Lands (Parthia), and launched an invasion on present-day  Turkmenistan, Harinia quickly occupied all territories of former Parthia (Nisa and surroundings), and a peace treaty was signed with Russia. This war was product of Harinian Irredentism, an ideal stil strong in Harinia to this day, claiming that the old empire should be restored. And that other nations ; thereby, are our subjects.

Turkish-Harinian War
During World War Two, the Turks joined in with Germany in a surprise turn of events. And attacked Harinia, At first the Harinians held the high ground and won, but when the Germans came into the action their way superior air force overran the Harinian supply lines, causing the King to accept defeat and cede land to Turkey.

Preparing against Saddam
When Saddam came to power, Maltum III heavily militarized Harinia, passing a law that makes military service compulsory at the age of 18 for the period of 12 months. The military modernized and created a large variety of weapons, tanks, jets and many. The Harinian industry kicked off with this preparations, creating many automobile manufacturers, such as one of the mostly known arround the world,XII, during this time, Harinia and the US came closer together as allies.

The Irredentism on Turkey
Rearmed, Harinia threatened Turkey if they didn't give back the land they took during world war two. Since Turkey was descended into a simple NATO puppet, they accepted without a word.

The Gulf War (Harinia)
The gulf war goes another way in Harinia's timeline. Saudi Arabia has a king which supports Saddam Hussein, and thus helps him. The war starts with Saddam invading Kuwait along Saudi Arabia. Then after a swift invasion, the US declares war upon Iraq, and Iraq declares war on Harinia. The first week of the war is a crushing defeat for Saddam's offensive, with Harinia pushing in the north. when the US Troops arrived, Iraq fell faster than in our timeline, with the air campaign being way shorter due to Harinian air bases. Saddam was executed by Harinian soldiers. With this victory, Harinia was able to influence Arabia (Now the Republic of Arabia), released the Republic of Kurdistan, and the Republic of Iraq, while annexing large chunks of land.

Government
The Harinian Government, although heavily libertarian, is far from the most democratic around Earth. The Harinian Republic, which is a more "absolute" Constitutional Monarchy, is led by the King. The king has de facto absolute power, but it is a Harinian tradition to be Merciful and fair to everyone.

Harinian Democracy
The king passes the law he considers okay. The parliament only has power to do legislation and pass them over to the King, which has the final word in everything. The people of Harinia can vote on the king's Council. A group of people that will advise the King in his actions. The people do have some rights that the King promises to not break upon coronation, like Free Speech and the right to protest. The parliament holds 250 Seats for each Municipality.

The Union State
Harinia is, by many ways, a sort of Union State, but not any Union State, the country has no actual larger administrative divisions, and it's divided into many small municipalities that are all united under one government agency, like States and counties, only that they have no autonomy, and the state doesn't exist de facto. The state is only for election measurement. The country is divided into six sections, Center, North, South, East, West, Irrendisa (Kuwait, Iraq, Arabia). Each votes for a council every election, which is every 4 years.

Political Parties
The King's council and parliament is divided between four major parties.

Loyal to the King's Party (LKP)
This party is centrist and supports the King and the right of the people to be free, they believe that a king doesn't necessarily need authoritarianism and tyranny. They help the people and listen to them, and currently have 45% of the seats in Parliament. It has three council members.

Party for Freedom (PFF)
The PFF, Nicknamed " Syndicalists/Activists " by the rest of the parties, is a libertarian party supporting socialist ideas. Although its power in the king's council is zero, it holds a healthy amount of 25% of the seats in Parliament. The party is heavily opposed by the LKP and the FFNE.

Green Harinian Party (GHP)
The Green Harinian Party doesn't seek power, it doesn't seek enemies, it cares about the Harinian landscape and environment, which many people do agree on. It holds 25% of the seats in parliament, and has Two out of the Six council advisors with the King, due to the public thinking it's better for they to directly influence the king. The support for this country spans the PFF and the LKP, but not the FFNE, which despises.

Forces for a New Era (FFNE)
The FFNE is a dangerous party with low public support due to their dictatorial and tyrannical ideals. They stand against the king and the rest of the parties. They are considered Fascists by 95% of the country and are despised, so they own 5% Of the parliament. But these people come from the annexed regions which are being integrated. The people from here know that they will be suppressed if they commit crimes. So instead they turn to democracy for hope. The FFNE holds one council member.
